Default Changing angle of trend line.

How do I set a trend line not as an average through my points but as a slope
that I have determined?

Draw it yourself. If you know the endpoints, put their coordinates into a
few cells:

X1 Y1
X2 Y2

Copy this range, select the chart, use Paste Special to add the data as a
new series.

Jon has already shown you how to draw a straight line. Though, I am not sure
why you would call it a trendline. After all, a trendline with a slope that
you determine is not a trendline!
