You don't! You observe the result. When no interaction happens the resulting pattern is described well with wave functions. If interaction happens to determine which slit it is traveling through the double line result is seen and can be described by mechanical functions.

This "we have math for both results" for interpreted to "has properties of both wave and particle". Which I guess was one press release away from n"it's both and depends on if I'm looking!"
