You can put this solution on YOUR website!
L=15s%2B120 means that L is a linear function of s.
The slope of the line is 15.
It means that for each unit increase in s, L increases by 15 units.
I suspect there was more to the problem.
Not knowing what L and s stand for, I cannot say more about what the slope represents.
