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.
It is a velocity-time graph in which time is plotted along the horizontal axis and the velocity of an object in a selected direction is plotted along the vertical axis.
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.
If the slope of a line on a distance-time graph is 1, it means that the speed of the object being plotted is 1 unit of distance traveled per unit of time elapsed. So, if the units are in, for example, meters and seconds, the speed would be 1 meter per second.

The graph of increasing acceleration would be a straight line sloping upwards when plotted against time. This indicates that the object's velocity is increasing at a constant rate.
A distance-time graph is created by placing the distance on the vertical axis with the time placed on the horizontal axis. The values can then be plotted using distance traveled on different intervals.

Depends on the units used (say metres and seconds) Speed = distance / time if the x axis = time, and the y axis = distance Then , speed = y / x (slope of the graph at any point) If then y / x = 1, then speed = 1 metre per second
