line graph
That phrase "this graph" is kind of a hint that there was a graph along with this question in the book that you copied it from. The question refers to that graph, and can't be answered without it, but you neglected to show it to me, so I don't stand a chance.
The answer depends on the motion.
If you graph distance vs. time, the slope of the line will be the average speed.
You could try a speed-time graph, or a distance-time graph.
it is called a motion graph
One can solve equations of motion by graph by taking readings of the point of interception.
line graph
A graph and an object.
A graph is best described as a table that communicates information visually.
Position-Time GraphYou can graph motion on a position vs time graph. On a position vs time graph, position is on the y-axis and time is on the x-axis. If the velocity is constant, the graph will be a straight line and the slope is average velocity. If the motion is accelerating, the graph will be a curved line.Velocity-Time GraphYou can also graph motion on a Velocity-Time graph. On a velocity vs time graph, velocity is on the y-axis, time is on the x-axis. If the graph is a straight line, velocity is constant and the slope is average acceleration. Also, on a velocity vs time graph, the area under the line is displacement.Refer to the related link for illustrations of the different graphs of motion and their meanings.

sinusoidal
You can't. Such a graph is only appropriate for motion in a single dimension.
distance = velocity x time so on the graph velocity is slope. If slope is zero (horizontal line) there is no motion
"Slope" is the steepness of the line on any graph.
The answer depends on the motion.
