Determines the slope of the line derived from the linear regression of a given dataset.
The SLOPE function in Excel is a statistical tool that calculates the slope of the linear regression line through a set of data points in a two-dimensional space. This function is particularly useful in various fields such as economics, biology, and social sciences for understanding relationships between variables. The SLOPE function returns a numeric value that represents the rate of change of the dependent variable (Y) with respect to the independent variable (X).
