Default Slope of a Trend Line


I have added a linear trend line to a graph. Is it possible to see the
slope and intercept somehow??

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
Martin
