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.
According to the question, you HAVE the point!
When you differentiate a function, you find the slope of the function. The slope is also known as the tangent. The slope of a line, given one point, and a second point relative to the first point, but with x different, is given as delta y over delta x. Differentiation is simply taking the limit of the slope, i.e. where delta x approaches zero.
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.
