It gives you the speed.
(not the velocity)
speed
the slope at any point on the graph is the acceleration
The slope of a velocity-time graph represents acceleration.
The slope of a speed/time graph at any point is the acceleration at that instant.
The slope of that graph at each point is the speed at that instant of time.
speed
Slope of the graph will give you speed.
Speed
if there is a slope, the velocity is either increasing or decreasing. This is acceleration.
A graph requires two numerical variables before it can have a meaningful slope. A distance-graph has only one variable so it does ot have a slope in any meaningful way. For eaxmple, you could have a graph showing the distances of varoius places from, say London.
The slope for a straight line graph is the ratio of the amount by which the graph goes up (the rise) for every unit that it goes to the right (the run). If the graph goes down, the slope is negative. For a curved graph, the gradient at any point is the slope of the tangent to the graph at that point.

acceleration
the slope at any point on the graph is the acceleration
Slopes give you the rate of change. On a distance vs. time graph the rate of change (i.e. the slope) is the velocity. On a Velovity vs. Time graph the rate of change is the acceleration. etc.
"Slope" is the steepness of the line on any graph.
