Answer:

a. Graph 1 is y=2^x and Graph 2 is y=2x+1

b. The slope increases over time on Graph 1, and remains the same on Graph 2

c. Graph 1 is exponential (y=2^x) and Graph 2 is linear (y=mx+b)

Hope this helps!

Explanation:

a: y=2* is exponential, so it is graph 1 (it makes a curve) y=2x+1 is linear (makes a line), and it has a slope of 2 and a y-intercept of 1, so y=2x+1 is graph 2!

b. slopes of Exponential Functions usually continue to increase (unless the number that is being affected by the exponent x is less than 1, in which they would continue to decrease), and linear functions have a set slope (m in y=mx+b)

c. Explanation is in the answer (it says to explain)
