Finding slope and y intercept

Hello, I was wondering if there is an easy way to find the slope and intercept of a line using MATLAB, like how it is so easy with Excel where you just plot the data and add a trendline, so then it will tell you the slope and intercept. Here is my code
tau = [15, 38, 100, 300, 1200];
CA = [1.5 1.25 1 0.75 0.5];
CA0 = 2;
dCdt = log((CA-CA0)./tau);
plot(log(CA),log((CA-CA0)./tau))
xlabel('ln(C_{A})')
ylabel('ln(C_{A}-C_{A0}/ \tau)')
I have a theory that says ln((CA-CA0)/tau) = ln(k) + alpha(ln(CA)), and I want to find alpha and ln k, which is my slope and intercept, respectively.
Thank you

Have you tried the Curve Fitting App (Curve Fitting Toolbox, req'd)

If you just use polyfit to get linear data, just take two points from it and do the elementary calculations.

Student Version usually does come with CFT. Try calling:
>>cftool
To see if you do.
Then you can fit arbitrary functions and you don't have to worry about linearizing them to play with polyfit.
