The answer will depend on whether the graph is a distance time graph or a speed time graph.

The slope of a distance-time graph shows that speed of the object in the direction towards or away from the point of reference (usually the origin). It indicates absolutely nothing about its speed in any other direction. So, for example, an object could be rotating around the origin at the speed of light (the fastest possible) and the distance-time graph would show it being stationary bacause its distance from the origin is not changing!

The slope of the speed-time graph indicated the acceleration of the object, again with the same qualification.
