I’m answering to myself on the mailing list just in case it might help some in the future.
As, someone pointed out the error is in the assignment operator:
I wrote in the code:
sum1 =+ (i-mx)*(j-my)
which does not add the values but puts them.
Instead I should have wrote
sum1 += (i-mx)*(j-my)
a little difference that does a lot…
here is the correct function:
def slope(x,y):
sum1 = 0
sum2 = 0
mx = mean(x)
my = mean(y)
for i,j in zip(x,y):
sum1 += (i-mx)*(j-my)
print sum1
sum2 += (i-mx)**2
slope = sum1/sum2
return slope
