Default Slope of a Trend Line

Hi jpx,

Right click on the trend line and go to Format TrendlineOptions tab and
click "show equation on chart". This will bring up the values for Y=Mx + C.

To get the the value of M in a cell use SLOPE and to get the value of C use
INTERCEPT, selecting the x + y range the same as you did for your data
points.

HTH
