They said i have a slow steady heart rate. is that good and what does it mean?

Yes, good: & that's all it says. Steady = regular, which is better than irregular, which can be an heart rhythm problem. Slow (if not too slow) is better than a fast resting heart rate, which can indicate poor cardiovascular fitness / health in general. Sometimes good is just "good.".
