Decimal places on trendline

I need to make a scatter plot for my chemistry class and find the equation of the trendline for the scatter plot. I know how to create the trendline and I know how to display the equation of the line on the graph, but the slope only shows up to 3 decimal places. I need greater accuracy than this, but I do not know how to make Excel display more decimal places. Does anyone know how to do this?

RIght- or Ctrl-click on the equation and choose Format Trendline Label.
In the Number tab, enter a number format with more decimal places.
