If you know elementary calculus and your speed function (and an initial condition (e.g. f(0) = 2), simply integrate your speed function to get a position function. For example: Say my speed function is f'(x) = 2x. My position function would therefore be f(x) = x^2 + 2.
If you don't know... just remember that velocity is the slope of position. So if from t = 1 to t = 2 the velocity of your graph is constant at 2. That means the slope of your position was 2 from t = 1 to t = 2. So in that interval, your position function should go up 2 and over 1. Maybe I'm not explaining very well but... I tried.

Just multiply the speed by the time and it will give you the distance.
