for finding slope.. we either require a equation of line... let it be ax+by=c
differentiate wrt x
a+b(dy/dx)=0
dy/dx=-a/b
here it is independent of point.... in other cases we will put the point in place of X and y at which we want to find the slope of line

OR
AS u are saying
in that respect
........
slope of line is defined as the tangent of angle( that is tan α ) made by the line with the positive X axis....
for example y=x line
Dy/dx=1
which shows y=x line makes 45 degree with positive X axis as tan45=1

vipprajapati2: if you will take straight line then it will cut on two point So only curved has only point
saurabhsemalti: no.... that tangent is different... when we talk abt slope we talk about tan of trigonometry... also known as tangent
vipprajapati2: we can also find the slope of the curved without tan
saurabhsemalti: the dy/dx itself is tanα,,,
vipprajapati2: by the equation of y=x^2
saurabhsemalti: Yup.... dy/dx=2x
vipprajapati2: I think you have got it
saurabhsemalti: so.. that"s what I am talking.... tanα=2a... at point x
vipprajapati2: the slope of the line will be 6
saurabhsemalti: see in answer I have added an example.
