Here comes gudden again.

gudden · Answer

Don't give direct answers @*Shadow*

gudden · Answer

@yoyogators ... use the fact that slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

abdullah1995 · Answer

giving direct answers is probably the worst thing to do. make the person understand whats going on

anonymous · Answer

How do you guys solve this?

gudden · Answer

@abdullah1995 ... am telling the same thing to shadow, from quite some time...

anonymous · Answer

You use the equation or what?

abdullah1995 · Answer

you have two co-ordinates. use it to find the slope. $$y2-y1/x2-x1$$

anonymous · Answer

The equation takes too much time.

anonymous · Answer

Just find the difference between the y coordinate.

anonymous · Answer

How much x changes.

abdullah1995 · Answer

you can use that, but to make the person understand i think it's better to give the full equation and also give your shortcut.

gudden · Answer

Give priority to the actual method, while teaching than the shortcut....
