If I get the slope of a line, and one point that is on it, then, are they define exactly ONE line?
The point–slope form of linear equations (yy1=m(xx1)) need only the slope and the coordinates of that given point. And this equation describes exactly one line.
Is it enough?

Yes, that is enough. You can determine unambiguously whether a point is on the line from the equation. There is a problem with vertical lines in this form, however. You just need to use x=x1 for that.
