There are velocity-time graph and distance-time graphs but how come I don't see any velocity-distance graphs? If you know the velocity of a particle and the distance it travels, you could derive the time it took to get there.

Why don't we see such a graph? Thanks!

Because distance/displacement, velocity, and acceleration are best understood as functions of time.
