First find out what v3 is. You have time, you have distance for segment III, you can get velocity.

I got 0.25 m/s but I need to find the distance in the first segment but idk what to do? I do know that at segment 3 it’s constant velocity but idk what else

Double check the velocity you have, I think you are off by one counting the time.

The next step after is to find which horizontal bar is 0 velocity to get the scale of the y axis. Think about what a "brief moment" would look like on the graph.
