How do I calculate speed in a velocity-time graph? And in a displacement-time graph?

Homework Equations

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?
