The adage is "rise over run". For example, if the change between position 1 and position 2 is two units to the right and 3 units up, the slope is 3/2. If the change was 3 units up and two units to the left, then it would be (-3/2).

the slope show the velocity of the object which show its direction and magnitude.
It is the gradient (slope) of the line.

Rate can be the slope of a line when some variables are graphed. Ex: When graphing distance vs time for a moving object the slope of the line is the rate.
To find the slope, you must have at least two points, not one. You cannot find the slope at one point, because coordinate points do not have slopes - lines have slopes.
