The slope of distance time graph is represents the speed of the object.

(a)The greatest inclination (slope) with the time-axis occurs in the part DE of the graph. Thus, the speed is greatest between 11.25am and 11.35am.

(b)The least inclination with the time-axis occurs in the part CD. Thus, the speed is least between 11.05 am and 11.15 am.

(c)The distance travelled between 10.15 am and 11.15 am is 30 km, and the time interval is 1 hour.
Thus, the average speed is = 30 km / 1 h = 30 km/h

(d)The total distance travelled is 50 km and the total time taken is 1 hour 30min = (3/2) h
Thus, the average speed is
