Plot the slope of a parabola with only the data points being known

Deflection (in meters)
The deflection is given in the following line. The data was acquired experimentally.
Thus, no equation is available.
x = linspace(-0.5,0.5,25); %length in (meters)
def_3mm_no_grav = -[0.00 5.82e-1 1.08 1.53 1.94 2.30 2.62 2.89 3.12 3.29 3.41 3.49 3.51 3.49 3.41 3.29 3.12 2.89 2.62 2.30 1.94 1.53 1.08 5.82e-1 0.0]*(10^(-3));
Slope
I tried using polyfit, but I'm not that familiar with the function so I could be using it wrong
slope_3_no_grav = polyfit(x,def_3mm_no_grav,1)
How should I go about acquiring the values/ equation of the slope in order to plot it?

Like this?
x = linspace(-0.5,0.5,25); %length in (meters)
def_3mm_no_grav = -[0.00 5.82e-1 1.08 1.53 1.94 2.30 2.62 2.89 3.12 ...
3.29 3.41 3.49 3.51 3.49 3.41 3.29 3.12 2.89 2.62 2.30 1.94 1.53 ...
1.08 5.82e-1 0.0]*(10^(-3));
coeffs = polyfit(x,def_3mm_no_grav,2);
fit_3mm_no_grav = polyval(coeffs,x);
slope_coeffs = [2*coeffs(1) coeffs(2)];
slope_fit = polyval(slope_coeffs,x);
plot(x,def_3mm_no_grav,'o',x,fit_3mm_no_grav),grid
legend('data','curve fit')
xlabel('x'), ylabel('3mm no grav')
figure
plot(x,slope_fit),grid
xlabel('x'), ylabel('slope of 3mm no grav')

Before fitting, it's a good practice to visualize your data to better understand the rough relationship between your variables. In your case, a 2nd order polynomial function seems a reasonable choice:
x = linspace(-0.5,0.5,25); %length in (meters)
y = -[0.00 5.82e-1 1.08 1.53 1.94 2.30 2.62 2.89 3.12 3.29 3.41 3.49 3.51 3.49 3.41 3.29 3.12 2.89 2.62 2.30 1.94 1.53 1.08 5.82e-1 0.0]*(10^(-3));
% fit a curve
coef = polyfit(x, y, 2); % equation would be f(x) = coef(1)*x^2 + coef(2)*x + coef(3)
% now draw the fit
newx = linspace(min(x), max(x), 100);
newy = polyval(coef, newx);
plot(x, y, 'o', newx, newy, 'linewidth', 1.5)
