The acceleration of an object.
speed graph
Steep slope on a distance/time graph indicates high speed.
On a graph of acceleration vs. time, during deceleration the line is below zero. On a graph of speed vs. time, during deceleration the line has a negative slope (sloping downward from left to right).
A speed graph measures the distance devided over time. Acceleration graph measures the change in speed over time.
On speed-time graph can measure acceleration by getting the slope.

It depends what you wish to show.
A distance time graph would show the distance traveled.
The shape and slope of the line on a graph illustrates the qualitative and quantitative relationship between the variables plotted on the axes of the graph. Sadly, there is no such graph as a "speed or time" one.
-- If the graph displays speed against time, then speed of zero is indicated wherever the graph-line touches the x-axis. -- If the graph displays distance against time, then speed of zero is indicated wherever the graph-line is horizontal. -- If the graph displays acceleration (magnitude) against time, then the graph can tell you when speed is increasing or decreasing, but it doesn't show what the actual speed is.
speed graph
Steep slope on a distance/time graph indicates high speed.
Distance-time graph will show a straight line with a positive slope. Speed-time graph will show a horizontal line at the uniform speed. Acceleration-time graph will show a horizontal line at a = 0.
as a horizontal straight line
On a graph of acceleration vs. time, during deceleration the line is below zero. On a graph of speed vs. time, during deceleration the line has a negative slope (sloping downward from left to right).
If the line formed by the graph is straight, the speed is constant. A horizontal line would show the object as stationary.
A speed graph measures the distance devided over time. Acceleration graph measures the change in speed over time.
