The linear trend equation is given below, where the forecast for $k$ periods into the future from period $t$ s a function of a base value $a_t,$ also known as the level, and a trend, $b_t.$

$F_{t+k}=a_t+b_{t}k$

The trend of the data is equivalent to the slope of the trendline. The level of the data is equivalent to the intercept of the trendline.

Identify the trend and level for the given data, rounding Trend to two decimal places and Level to the nearest integer. If necessary, right$-$click on the trendline label and select Format Trendline Label to change the rounding on the trend and level.

Trend $=19\mathrm{.}24$

Level $=-767,335$
