Interpreting the Rate of Expansion

The steepness of the slope of a Hubble plot corresponds with the rate of expansion of the Universe. A steeper slope indicates a faster rate of expansion. Therefore, a larger value for the Hubble Constant will correspond with a faster expansion rate for the Universe.
