Bug Description
0.46 released angled guidelines--cool! However, the angle of these guidelines is determined from a user-specified angle and ONE point. I would like to be able to give Inkscape two points and for it to calculate the angle for me. This would be useful in vanishing point drawings: give it the vanishing point and a point on the subject and you're ready to go. I'd also like to see it take slope (as in m from y=mx+b) in addition to angles.

Have you tried the Object > Objects to Guides (Shift + G)?
Draw a simple line from your vanishing point to the object and turn it into a guide.
When you double-click the guide you'll see the exact angle, so you can easily calculate the "m" if you need it.
If you deal with "m" in your workflow you can easily calculate the angle and set a guide to it. Is the automatic input-" m"-to-get- guide an important feature to you? Maybe that should be a separate feature request or you should edit this one as your first request seems to be met.
