@abb0t want to help me out a little bit? :)

abb0t · Answer

Y axis is absorbance and on the x axis is concentration. The points on the graph should represent a line, or the best-fit line.

anonymous · Answer

from what i have read i get this: beer's law states that the absorbance is directly proportional to the concentration and thickness of the cell in the radiation path. 
and the slope is the molar absorptivity. correct?

Beer's Law basically says that the absorbance $A$ of a solution is directly proportional to the concentration, $C$, and the width, $l$, of the cuvette
