In a simple pendulum graph, the value of the slope is equivalent to : 1.g(acceleration due to gravity) 2.L(length) 3.T(period) 4.Other(specify)
The pendulum graphs are often period squared vs. length, so if you put it together you should definitely get gravity.
Note that the slope is \[m = \frac{ y_{2}-y _{1} }{ x _{2}-x _{1} } = \frac{ \Delta y }{ \Delta x }\]
since, the formula for period T of a simple pendulum is: \[\Large T = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{L}{g}} \] we can write: \[\Large {T^2} = \frac{{4{\pi ^2}}}{g}L\] so, if we make a plot where along the vertical axis, there are the values of T^2, whereas along the horizontal axis there are the values of the length L of the pendulum, then such plot is a straight line whose slope is the subsequent quantity: \[\Large \frac{{4{\pi ^2}}}{g}\]
