1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
How do I calculate speed in a velocity-time graph? And in a displacement-time graph?

2. Relevant equations
---

3. The attempt at a solution
I'm quite at a lost at how to calculate these =S
Any help is appreciated.

If your graph is V_(t) vs. t then isn't the graph at any point the V at that particular t?

For displacement and time, what is the definition of speed? Change in displacement for a change in time? And if you examine an extremely small time change at a point then what is that?
