Besides obviously distance at any instant, on a connected, continuous distance-time graph, you can obtain instantaneous velocity and instantaneous acceleration.

How do you find slope on a distance vs. time graph?
The slope is the change in distance between any two points divided by the change in time between them.
What variable is distance on a distance-time graph?
Idependent
What is the nature of the distance time graph for uniform motion of an object?
the distance time graph will show a linear or a straight line
How can you get speed and distance covered by a body from distance 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.
In what kind of graph can you identify velocity?
A graph of distance against time.
What can a travel time graph can be used to find?
A travel time graph can be used to find the distance from the epicenter of an earthquake.
Distance time graph?
distance time graph is a graph traveled in a graph which shows how much we have traveled in equal period of time.
A travel-time graph can be used to find?
the distance from a epicenter to an earthquake :)
How is a distance time graph be used?
To find the average speed or rate of something.(:
How do you plot a distance time graph when you are given a velocity time graph?
The area under a v/t graph is how far you've gone. Choose a point on the time axis, read off the speed and find the area underneath. If its a straight line graph, all you have to do is find the area of the triangle. This area is the distance travelled in this particular time. Repeat for several more points on the time axis. Plot distance against time.
What is a graph with distance on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis is called?
distance-time graph
What does the slope of the distance time graph represent?
The slope of a distance-time graph represents speed.
What is plotted on a vertical line distance-time graph?
Typically distance is plotted on the y-axis of a distance-time graph.
How can you calculate the speed in a distance time graph?
speed is the gradient under the distance vs time graph which is change in distance /change in time
Is acceleration the slope of a line on a distance time 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.
What is the difference between a velocity time graph and a position time graph?
Simply put, a velocity time graph is velocity (m/s) in the Y coordinate and time (s) in the X and a position time graph is distance (m) in the Y coordinate and time (s) in the X if you where to find the slope of a tangent on a distance time graph, it would give you the velocity whereas the slope on a velocity time graph would give you the acceleration.
How is a distance- time graph different than a speed time graph?
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.
