Hello. I have two signals (according to figure) and I want to find the slop of each signal.
Thanks for further help.

Well, as you can see the slope is varying. What exactly are you looking for? The trend? The change in every point?

A script that calculates mean slope :
clc; clear; close all;
%%generate input signal
x=0:1:1500;
y=(-0.002*x+3)+abs(sin(2*pi*.002*x))+0.2*sin(2*pi*.01*x);
figure; plot(y, '-b'); zoom on; grid on;
xlabel('x'); title('input signal y'); hold on;
%%first order aproximation
p=polyfit(x,y,1);
polyValues=p(1)*x+p(2);
plot(polyValues,'--r');
legend('input signal', 'first order approximation');
%%slope detection
fprintf(' mean slope = %f \n', p(1));
Of course, I had to generate a signal similar to what you presented at your question.
If you run the script you will receive the following:

You can draw a line from the start point to the end point, but what's the point of that? It's certainly not indicative of future values.

@Sara , If the end point of the red line and the end point of the signal are the same , then you might have a significant error on what you have calculated as "mean slope". I believe, the method I used for the calculation of the "red line" is (probably) the best one.
