How to calculate the slope of line in Excel
How to calculate the slope of a line in Microsoft Excel?
There are two methods to calculating the slope of a line in Excel, the first method is to use the gradient formula where slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1), while the second method is to make a scatter plot of the data and add a trendline with the equation of the line.
In mathematics the slope of a line is also known as the gradient of a line and is a term used to describe the steepness and direction of a line when plotted on a graph. When looking at the equation of a line y = mx + c, the slope or gradient is the variable m.
