The area under the velocity time graph of an object is equal to the distance travelled by that object in that time. This is because displacement is the integral of velocity with respect to time so integrating velocity from time A to time B will give the displacement from time A to time B. ( Integrating is the same as calculating the area under the graph)

What does displacement divided by time give you?
The Average Velocity on a position time graph or a velocity time graph.
What does the slope of the distance time graph give?
speed
What does the slope of a distnace-time graph give you?
It gives you the speed. (not the velocity)
On a speed time graph what measures acceleration?
deceleration can be measured from a velocity time graph by calculating the gradient of the velocity time graph if the V-t graph was linear. If the v-t graph was a curve then the differentiatial of the equation of the curve will give the deceleration variation with time.
What is a distance vs time squared graph?
To calculate the gradient of the line on a graph, you need to divide the changein the vertical axis by the change in the horizontal axis.
What does the area under a v-t graph give?
distance
What information does this graph give you?
If I can't see the graph then how will I know the answer?
Name the two physical quantities which can be obtained from the velocity-time graph?
well, the area under the curve between a time interval is equal to the distance traveled on that specific time interval. So one quantity is distance. As for another quantity, the answer would be velocity, but I think they may want a less obvious answer. A quantity out side of velocity could be instantaneous acceleration. This is given by the slope of the the tangent line to the velocity-time graph. Hope this helps you answer your question. Though I think the most simple way to understanding why is to take a course of calculus.
What is the scale for the line graph?
The scale can be anything that you choose - but you must give it with the graph.
What does a graph give you a picture of?
A trend
Graph the atomic radii for the first 20 elements?
give me graph paper first!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How can speed be determined from a graph of distance vs time?
Slope of the graph will give you speed.
How are line graph and bar graph similar?
They both give you info on a specific thing or object
What does displacement divided by time give you?
The Average Velocity on a position time graph or a velocity time graph.
What are histograms?
