SLOPE (KnownYArray,KnownXArray)


  • is the set of dependent values.
  • is the set of independent values.
    • SLOPE(), returns the slope of the linear regression line.

Description

  • This function gives the slope of the linear regression line through a set of given points.
  • The slope of a regression line (b) represents the rate of change in as ,math> x </math> changes.
  • To find a slope we can use the least squares method.
  • Slope is found by calculating b as the co-variance of and , divided by the sum of squares (variance) of .
  • In , is the array of the numeric dependent values and is the array of the independent values.
  • The arguments can be be either numbers or names, array, constants or references that contain numbers.
  • Suppose the array contains text, logical values or empty cells, like that values are not considered.
  • The equation for the slope of the regression line is

where and are the sample mean x and y.

  • This function will return the result as error when
 1. Any one of the argument is non-numeric. 
 2.  and  are empty or that have a different number of data points.
