8 meters per second
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.
Slope of the graph will give you speed.

Line graph.
On a graph, a speed of zero would be represented by a horizontal line at the zero point on the y-axis, indicating no change in position over time. This would appear as a flat line running parallel to the x-axis.

A speed graph measures the distance devided over time. Acceleration graph measures the change in speed over time.
Speed can be shown on a graph of position versus time, and acceleration can be shown on a graph of speed versus time.
speed graph
To find acceleration from a speed-time graph, you need to calculate the slope of the speed-time graph. The slope at any point on the speed-time graph represents the acceleration at that specific time. If the speed-time graph is linear, then the acceleration will be constant. If the speed-time graph is curved, you can find the acceleration by calculating the slope of the tangent line at a specific point.
Speed (in the radial direction) = slope of the graph.
Slope of the graph will give you speed.
