Once a Trend Line or Lines are displayed you can view slope and y-intercept for all the displayed Trend Lines by selecting [Analysis > Trend Lines > Describe Trend Model...].
If there are multiple lines, it is possible to show individual Trend Lines per line color by selecting [Analysis > Trend Lines > Edit Trend Lines...> Allow a trend line per color].
Once [Allow a trend line per color] is enabled in the Trend Options dialog, each Trend Line will have a dashed line the same color as the line it is trending to make identifying them easier.
If Trend Line Per Color is enabled for a Multi-Line Chart, selecting [Analysis > Trend Lines > Describe Trend Model...] will produce Trend Line Details for every Trend Line visible in your chart.

If you plot chart using a trend line and select specific data points in the view, Visual Analytics compares the data for the selected data points and plots a recalculated line for the highlighted data while dimming the original line.
The following example originally showed the order date by freight. When you select October through December, Visual Analytics instantly compares the order date for these months and plots a recalculated line for the same. Now you can view freight for the last three months to the overall total quantity ordered new for each customer segment.
You can also control from where the trend line should start. In the Time Series Options area, you can set one of the following options:
- Begin trend at first data point: Shows a trend from the epoch date (Jan 1, 1970).
- Begin trend at zero: Shows a trend from first data point on the axis.
