Answer:

Speed

Step-by-step explanation:

On a distance - time graph, the slope of the line indicates the speed of the object.

Speed is the rate of change of distance with time.

Speed =
(distance)/(time)

Now, the slope is the change in distance with the change time which is commensurate with the speed equation.

For a displacement - time graph, the slope is the velocity.

Therefore the slope of a distance - time graph is its speed.
