Because time is considered to be the independent variable, with distance being dependent on the time elapsed since some starting point.
Also, distance can be treated as function of time but time will not be a function of distance unless the object is always moving away from the initial position. If the object is stationary or returning, the distance-to-time relationship becomes one-to-many which is not permitted for a function.
The speed is the slope of the curve in such a graph.
distance time graph is a graph traveled in a graph which shows how much we have traveled in equal period of time.
The slope of a distance-time graph represents speed.
Typically distance is plotted on the y-axis of a distance-time graph.
speed is the gradient under the distance vs time graph which is change in distance /change in time
The speed is the slope of the curve in such a graph.
A distance vs time squared graph shows shows the relationship between distance and time during an acceleration. An example of an acceleration value would be 3.4 m/s^2. The time is always squared in acceleration therefore the graph can show the rate of which an object is moving

distance-time graph
The slope of a distance-time graph represents speed.
Typically distance is plotted on the y-axis of a distance-time graph.
speed is the gradient under the distance vs time graph which is change in distance /change in time
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.
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 straight line on a distance - time graph represents a "constant velocity".
A distance time graph would show the distance traveled.
Slope of time Vs distance graph gives the inverse of velocity.
