speed is the gradient under the distance vs time graph which is change in distance /change in time
The slope of a distance-time graph represents speed.
The speed is the slope of the curve in such a graph.
Slope of the graph will give you speed.
A distance time graph would show the distance traveled.
The instantaneous slope at any point along the graphed line is the speed at that point in time.
Speed = distance / time A line graph with distance on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis could be used to determine speed. The speed would equal the slope of the line. Alternatively, a line graph with distance/time on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis would show speed. The acceleration would equal the slope of the line.
The variable plotted along the vertical axis is the distance in the first case, speed in the second. The gradient of (the tangent to) the distance-time graph is the speed while the area under the curve of the speed-time graph is the distance.

A distance time graph is important because it helps determine the speed of a person or object. The use of the graph helps to easily interpret the results.
It is not possible to sketch anything using this browser. The speed of a body cannot be determined from a distance-time graph. The slope of the graph is a measure of the radial velocity - that is the speed directly towards or directly away from the starting point. However, there is absolutely no information of any motion in a transverse direction. Since motion in this direction cannot be assumed to be 0, the distance-time graph cannot be used to determine speed.
The graph of distance vs time increases exponentially as speed increases.
That's not correct. If you have a graph of distance as a function of time, the speed is the slope of the graph.
No. The slope of the distance-time graph is the change in distance per unit of time - otherwise known as speed. Acceleration is the slope of the speed time graph.

Distance you read off directly from the graph. Speed is the rate of increase of distance, so it is the slope (gradient) of the graph.
