A proper speed-time graph is one in which time is plotted on the horizontal axis and the speed of the object under study is plotted on the vertical axis.
In fact, what you will come across is most likely to be a radial-speed time graph. In such a graph, the speed depicted is the speed away from of towards the origin (or point of reference) or the component of speed in the radial direction. Movement across that direction is likely to be ignored.
Also, to be of real use, you need a velocity time graph, which takes account of the direction of travel.

What is indicated on a speed graph?
Acceleration is indicated on a speed/time graph.
Does the slope of the line on a speed time graph tells the speed?
No. The slope on a speed vs time graph tells the acceleration.
What does speed-time graph represent?
It represents the speed of a moving object at any time covered by the graph.
How can speed be determined from a graph of distance vs time?
Slope of the graph will give you speed.
In a graph speed versus time what is the meaning of the slope?
The slope of the speed-vs-time graph is the magnitude of acceleration.
