If the line is a straight line, meaning 180degrees, it can only have one slope. If it is a function (f(x)= or y=) then the line may have more than one, one, or an undefined slope. Find the first differential of the function and plug in your given x value to find the slope at any given point.

one is the negative reciprocal of the other; that is if the slope of one line is 2, the other is -1/2
can a line have two slopes
A straight line cannot have two slopes. A curve, however, might have a different slope at every different point.
In geometric terms, a line can have only one slope. if there is more than one slope, it is not a line, it is multiple lines or a second (or higher) order graphical representation of a function in two dimensional space.
