Define speed as a rate and define velocity as speed in a given direction?

Velocity of a body is the distance travelled by it per unit time in a given direction. Velocity is a vector quantity as it has both magnitude as well as direction. Speed of a body gives us idea of how slow or fast a body is moving. Speed of a body is the distance travelled by it per unit time. formula for speed is given by : Distance travelled/Time taken
