What is the significance of slope value?

We are working on density, and I got a straight line (no curves) that means density is constant. I calculated the slope value, what is the significance of it? (.8846)
Im a exchange student and Im having a little trouble what this means: 'Account for density variations'
THANKS A LOT!

slope tells you what the change in y is compared to the change in x

for a slope of 2, y changes twice as much as x

Does it have anything to do with y=mx+b?
