Answer:

The shutter speed is amount of time the film is exposed to incoming light. The slower the shutter speed, the more time the film is exposed to light. A photographer would want to use a slower shutter speed if he/she was taking a photo in a dark location, so the light has more time to enter, and vise versa.
