% Here is the data we want to fit a straight line to:
x = [ -1 1 0.3];
y = [ 1 -1 0.2];

% Set up the min and max angles for the line and its intercept:
min_angle = -89;
max_angle = 89;
min_intercept = -10;
max_intercept = 10;
% Create arrays of all these angles and intercepts
angle = linspace (min_angle, max_angle);
intercept = linspace (min_intercept, max_intercept);
% Obtain the lengths of these arrays
na = length (angle);
nb = length (intercept);
% Convert from angles to slopes ( = tan (angle))
slope = tan (deg2rad(angle));
% Initialize total misfit grid to zero
E = zeros(nb, na);
% Clear Figure 1 which will show both a contour plot and a surf plot of E

    for col = 1:na
