∙ 11y agoAssuming it's a graph of speed vs time, then between 2 times, the average is the distance (= area under the graph between those times) divided by the time difference.
speed is how fast you go. distance is how far you go.
speed is the gradient under the distance vs time graph which is change in distance /change in time

Slope of the graph will give you speed.

speed does not indicate direction, so there is no negative on the graph.
The gradient of that line will be the speed of the object, because the gradient is the difference in y over the difference in x, while the speed is the difference in distance over the difference in time.
speed is how fast you go. distance is how far you go.
The slope of the line between two points on the distance/time graph is the same as the average speed during the time interval between those points.
Distance you read off directly from the graph. Speed is the rate of increase of distance, so it is the slope (gradient) of the graph.
The variable plotted along the vertical axis is the distance in the first case, speed in the second. The gradient of (the tangent to) the distance-time graph is the speed while the area under the curve of the speed-time graph is the distance.

That's not correct. If you have a graph of distance as a function of time, the speed is the slope of the graph.

A distance vs time squared graph shows shows the relationship between distance and time during an acceleration. An example of an acceleration value would be 3.4 m/s^2. The time is always squared in acceleration therefore the graph can show the rate of which an object is moving
