Explanation / Answer

The slope will represent spring constant OR stiffness.

According to Hooke's Law force (F) needed to compress or extend a spring varies linearly by distance(x) .

So F =kx

where k is constant known as stiffness.

The plot is linear . The slope which is contant, represents stiffness of the spring
