I've uploaded a function that calculates the slope of the best-fit line through a set of X,Y paired data, but how well does that line fit the data? This calculates the correlation coefficient for that least-squares fitted line. The result will be between -1 and 1 inclusive, with numbers close to 1 indicating a good fit to a positively sloped line, numbers near -1 indicating a good fit to a negatively sloped line, and number near 0 indicating a poor fit.
