Instantaneous velocity is the rate of change of position with respect to time at a particular instant, mathematically expressed as dr/dt (differentiation of position with respect to time). Instantaneous speed is the magnitude of instantaneous velocity, and they are equal at any instant because in a very small time interval, displacement equals distance. The slope of a position-time graph at any point gives the instantaneous velocity at that point. To find instantaneous velocity from a position function, differentiate the position function with respect to time. A particle comes to rest when its instantaneous velocity becomes zero, which is the condition for changing direction in one-dimensional motion.
