Not easily because
But there are statistical models being developed to get around these problems.
The time-distance graph of seismic waves shows the relationship between the time it takes for seismic waves to travel and the distance they travel. It helps in determining the speed at which seismic waves propagate through the Earth's interior and provides information about the structure and composition of the Earth's layers.
A Seismograph
Slope of time Vs distance graph gives the inverse of velocity.
Distance travelled from a velocity / time graph can be calculated from area under graph, say area under (v/t) graph from 0 - 1 seconds = distance travelled after 1 second, then do 0 - 2 seconds, 0 - 3 etc for set of data for distance / time graph
A graph is constructed such that time (in hours) is the x-variable and distance (in miles) is the y-variable. If you plot the distance that a car travels on the graph traveling at a speed of 60 miles per hour, what is the slope of the graph?
the distance from a epicenter to an earthquake :)
A travel time graph can be used to find the distance from the epicenter of an earthquake.
The distance of an earthquake epicenter from a seismic station. Using the Three point method, the distance from 3 seismic stations are used to locate the epicenter by triangulation.

They first collect several seismogram tracings of the same earthquake from different locations. Then the seismograms are placed on a time distance graph. The seismogram tracing of the first p wave is lined up with the p wave time distance curve. The difference from each station from the earth quake can be found by reading the horizontal axis. After finding out the distance, a seismologist can locate an earthquake's epicenter.
The first step in this method is to collect several seismograms of the same earthquake from different locations. Then, the seismograms are placed on a time-distance graph. The seismogram tracing of the first P wave is lined up with the P-wave time-distance curve, and the tracing of the first S wave is lined up with the S-wave curve.The distance of each station from the earthquake can be found by reading the horizontal axis.

A curved graph is a graph usually used to find the earthquake's epicentre. It involves finding the time of the earthquake, (P-S waves) and then plotting that onto the graph. So when your time hits the curve you simply measure straight down and that's you distance from the earthquake. Easy!
A graph with distance traveled on one axis and time on the other. Time will go on the x axis and distance on the y because distance depends on the time.
