how do i find the slope of a line in excel?
 

What are you starting with?

If you have two points, say, (x1,y1) in A1:B1 and (x2,y2) in A2:B2 then
the slope in C1 is returned by

C1: =(B2-B1)/(A2-A1)

1) By making an XY chart and inserting a trendline with the equation
displayed
or
2) By using the SLOPE function

Have you experimented using Excel's Help feature - it is very useful
best wishes

See Help, Slope.

Firstly, the purpose of the message body is to allow you to ask the
question. Don't just put it in the subject line. Blank messages are often
rejected or ignored.

Secondly, why not be brave and type the word "slope" into excel help and see
what you find? [A more blunt answer would be RTFM]
