It shows the speed of an object in a direction towards or away from the reference point. This is not the speed of the object because any motion in a transverse direction is ignored. For example, even if a racing car is going at top speed around the reference point on a circular track, the distance v time graph will be a horizontal line. The slope will be zero.

the slope show the velocity of the object which show its direction and magnitude.
How would decreasing speed show up on the distance versus time graph?
The slope of the line would decrease.
What does a distance versus time graph never show?
There are many things the graph does not show. It does not show my shoe size, for example.
Can a distance versus time graph ever show a horizontal line?
if the speed is zero then the distance versus time line will be horizontal
