Which of the following is equal to the slope of a distance versus time graph?

A. time

B. velocity

C. distance

D. acceleration

Speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

If you want to be careful and correct about it, the slope of a

distance/time graph is speed. In order to make 'velocity',

you also need the direction along with the speed, and you'll

hardly ever see any direction information on a graph.
