In the rectangular coordinate system $(xOy)$, the parametric equations of the curve $C$ are $\begin{cases} x=2\cos\theta \\ y=4\sin\theta \end{cases} (\theta \text{ is the parameter})$, and the parametric equations of the line $l$ are $\begin{cases} x=1+t\cos\alpha \\ y=2+t\sin\alpha \end{cases} (t \text{ is the parameter})$.
(1) Find the rectangular coordinate equations of $C$ and $l$;
(2) If the midpoint of the line segment obtained by intersecting the curve $C$ and the line $l$ has coordinates $(1, 2)$, find the slope of $l$.
