Slope of a torque vs angular acceleration graph?

What does the slope represent of this graph?

There is a basic formula that relates torque to angular acceleration:

$<br /> \Sigma \tau = I \alpha<br />$

where $\tau$ = torque, $I$ = moment of inertia, and $\alpha$ = angular acceleration. This formula is the rotational analog of Newton's second law. From this can you tell us what the slope of the graph $\tau$ as a function of $\alpha$ would be?
