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 Trendline>Options 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.
