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.
BecAuse that would mean it is going an infinite speed. The slope of a distance time graph is the objects velocity or speed. If there is a line parallel to the distance axis, there is a vertical line. The slope of a vertical line is infinite. It is not possible to go an infinite speed.
The speed is the slope of the curve in such a graph.
x and y
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.
To get speed from a distance-time graph, you would calculate the slope of the graph at a given point, as the gradient represents speed. To calculate total distance covered, you would find the total area under the graph, as this represents the total distance traveled over time.
That's not correct. If you have a graph of distance as a function of time, the speed is the slope of the graph.

The graph of distance vs time increases exponentially as speed increases.
Speed (in the radial direction) = slope of the graph.

The slope of a distance-time graph represents speed.
A speed graph measures the distance devided over time. Acceleration graph measures the change in speed over time.
