use two of them to find the slope and then if it multiple choice see if that slope is one of the choices or is relatively close.  If not you can substitute one point in with that slope to find the y-intercept. and see if the slope and y-intercepts are similar to one of the chocies

how do i use both of them to find slope? what is the formula ?

anonymous · Answer

sorry,   slope = $$\frac{ y2-y1 }{ x2-x1 }$$
