The distance from the origin at time t, in the direction of motion, is the area under the graph between time 0 and time t.
In a simple speed-time graph the area may be calculated using simple formulae for the areas of triangles, rectangles, trapeziums. In more complicated cases you will need to integrate for the area under the speed-time curve. And in seriously complex cases, you will have to use numerical estimation for the area.

How can you calculate the speed in a distance time graph?
speed is the gradient under the distance vs time graph which is change in distance /change in time
How is a distance time graph be used?
To find the average speed or rate of something.(:
What does the slope of the distance time graph represent?
The slope of a distance-time graph represents speed.
How can you get speed of an object from its distance-time graph?
The speed is the slope of the curve in such a graph.
How can speed be determined from a graph of distance vs time?
Slope of the graph will give you speed.
