the velocity and acceleration

Not really. The direction is implied by the description of the distance axis, so as you go to the right on the graph it represents greater distance from the point which you have chosen to represent your point of reference. So you could define it for example as the distance east of your start point, or the distance north from your start point, or just the distance in any direction etc. If your description does not specify a direction, then all you can say is how far from the start you are, with no other information on compass direction etc.

The slope of a distance-time graph represents the direction of motion. A positive slope indicates motion in the positive direction, while a negative slope indicates motion in the negative direction. A horizontal line represents no motion.
