I would like to add the value of the estimated slope to my graph, but I don't know which command to use.
This is what I've tried
% slope
hold on
text(['slope = ',num2str(b)]);
% and
% slope
hold on
txt = ['slope = ',num2str(b)];
text(b,txt,'VerticalAlignment','Cap');

Put that information in the title of the axes or as the string in the legend for the line in question?

But what I was actually looking for is the text not depending on any point, sort of as a legend where you can move the box around.
You can move text objects around after they are plotted. Select the "edit plot" arrow, select the text object, and drag it around the screen. But Matlab still needs to know where to initially plot the text so you have to use the x,y inputs to text.
You could put it in the corner of a plot like this
text (min(xlim), max(ylim), 'Upper Left Corner')
