Solution

Step 1: Slope of a distance-time graph
The distance travelled for a moving object is simply the measure of the whole path travelled by the particle.
The slope is the ratio of perpendicular length with base length.
$S l o p e = \frac{m}{s} = \frac{m}{s} = m s^{- 1} = s p e e d .$
Hence, the slope of a distance-time graph indicates speed.
