How to calculate the slope of a line in a graph ?
type: item
description: Dear all, I got a set of data for x and y, I plotted a line graph, I did linfit too, But now i would like to know how to calculate the slope of x and y in the program. I've been looking for a function that can help me overcome the problem, but I dnt have a luck to get it. Please any help will be appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time Many thanks Zolile

I tried to calculate it on a program but I dnt figure it, Any suggestion will be highly appreciated. I searched the function that could help me calculating that but I ddnt get results.

I searched the function that could help me calculating that but I ddnt get results. Well, my suggestion is to read the on-line help for the PROB, SIGMA, and CHISQR keywords to LINFIT. Whatever your definition of "uncertainty" is, it is sure to be found in one or the other of those keywords. :-) Cheers, David -- David Fanning, Ph.D. Fanning Software Consulting, Inc.
