The idea is to divide delta-y by delta-x. In other words, divide the difference in the y-coordinates, by the difference in the x-coordinates.
I surmise that you are asking about y = x. This defines the line that passes through the origin, i.e., the point (0,0), with slope 1. In angular terms, the portion of it to the upper left of the origin is halfway between the x-axis and the y-axis.
The graph of a linear function is a line with a constant slope. The graph of an exponential function is a curve with a non-constant slope. The slope of a given curve at a specified point is the derivative evaluated at that point.
If the second derivative of a function is zero, then the function has a constant slope, and that function is linear. Therefore, any point that belongs to that function lies on a line.
If given simply the slope of a line and a point through which it passes, and then told to find the equation of the line, one of the easiest ways of doing so is to use the point-slope formula.

Yes, a vertical line is linear, but it is not a function, because every point on the line has the same x value.
Horizontal line test is used for the determination of a function,if the horizontal line passes through one point of the given graph then it is a function and if it passes through more than one point then it will not a function. * * * * * No! It is a vertical line test. Consider the graph of y = sin(x): a horizontal line line will cross it twice in every 360 degrees! Convince me that y = sin(x) is not a function.

No. That function describes a parabola who's vertex is at the point (0, -4).
The line is vertical and so the slope is undefined.
