What is shown on the y-axis in a graph if it is mean distance paintballs traveled?

It's not entirely clear what graph you are trying to draw. My guess is that a paintball gun has been set at a fixed angle and lots of paintballs have been fired and the distance they travelled recorded.
As the distance is a continuous, not a discrete, measure and there is going to be a little inaccuracy in the actual measurement of the distances, it is going to be better to group the distances to the nearest 5 or 10 cm (eg less than 30m, 30m to 30.09 m, 30.1m to 30.19 m, ..., 32.9m to 32.99m, 33 m and over - the actual group range to use would be based on the data recorded).
Then, the graph would plot the mid-point of the distance groups along the x-axis and the number of paintballs in the groups up the y-axis. I would expect a roughly bell shaped curve to appear (if the points are joined together) like the Normal curve. The mean value of the distances (taking into account how many in each group) I would expect to be near the middle of the graph (x-values).

How would the graph be different if the y axis were total distance ridden instead of distance from home?
The information we need to answer that question is shown on the graph, which we can't see.
When you are graphing aceleration on a distance time graph the data is shown as?
It's the rate of change of gradient. Or if you have the function of the distance-time graph, it's d2x/dt2.
When motion of an object is shown by a straight line on a distance-time graph with distance on the y-axis the slope of the line is?
The constant acceleration
How can different constant speeds be shown on a distance-time graph?
By straight lines having different slopes.
When the motion of an object is shown by a straight line on a distance versus time graph with distance on the y axis what will the slope of the line be?
the slope would be speed.
On a graph of distance versus time what is constant speed shown by?
If the line formed by the graph is straight, the speed is constant. A horizontal line would show the object as stationary.

On a speed time graph, the distance can be calculated by working out the area underneath the line. To work out the distance travelled between t=0 and t=10 you would need to find these two values and then work out the area on the graph of the shape bound by the line of the particle, the x axis, t=0 and t=10. The average speed of the particle is the distance (calculated above) divided by 10.
