Since you are using gcc, <math.h> will provide M_PI, as long as you are not
compiling in ANSI mode.  This allows you to convert an angle from degrees into
radian measure:

#define radians(a) )(a)*(M_PI/180.))

The slope (dy/dx) is just tan(radians(angle)).

This is extremely simple math and should be learned before attempting such
programming.
