Mathematical Proof that a Stock's Beta is Equal to the Slope of the Linear Regression using Excel

For this exercise let's say the stock we are trying to study is SM Investments Corp (PSE: SM) and the benchmark is Philippine Composite PSEi Index (PCOMP)

From our readings we've learned that SM's Beta is equal to the Covariance of SM's daily returns vs PCOMP's daily returns divided by the PCOMPs stadard deviation squared.
