I can not find the slope. I hypothesized that to fit the power law of Zipf, it would have to be close to -1. Can somebody help me find the slope from the graph and equation. I also included a slide that explains the law I am using.

Right now you’re plotting your data as y vs log(x). If you plot your data points on a log-log scale (log(y) vs log(x)) you’ll be able to fit a linear function to it, since it’ll appear as a straight line (as per Zipf’s law). That will allow you to find the slope
