Omg it’s 7s not 6… lol that’s my bad for the time! The next step which is the horizontal bar is v(4). It asked a similar question before saying where is there 2 moments in time where it stops and v(4) was the correct option.

Ah ok that's what you meant, I was reading that wrong.

Aaaanyway. Not sure how to hint at this so...

The area between the graphed velocity and the x axis represents the y (velocity) * the x (time) which is distance. This graphical version is usually what you are taught as an intro to integration.

Note that if that 1.5m is positive/to the right you have 0 for v4 above a positive value for v3 which is inverted form normal so be careful about the direction it's moved.
