Graphically, your graph is just that; distance versus time. In general, it gives a position of x at a certain time of t. It should be noted that the slope of the graph at time t is the velocity of the graph at that time t.

Typically distance is plotted on the y-axis of a distance-time graph.
Distance time graph shows the distance an object has traveled with respect to time. Time is plotted on the horizontal axis and distance is plotted on the vertical axis. The slope of the graph at any particular point in time will be equal to the instantaneous velocity at that point in time.
Time is plotted on the HORIZONTAL axis. That may or may not be the x-axis. If I choose to call the distance X, then X will be plotted on the vertical axis!
It could be a velocity graph or an acceleration graph. If the plot is a straight line it is constant velocity. If the plot is a curve it is acceleration.
False. A distance-time graph shows the relationship between distance traveled and time, indicating how far an object has moved over a specific period. To analyze how speed changes with time, one would need a speed-time graph, where the speed of the object is plotted against time. The slope of the distance-time graph represents speed, but it does not directly show changes in speed over time.
