Question

Help
Is it linear or exponential

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation

• Linear

Linear is a straight line. You might have heard of Linear Function.

`y = mx + b`

The equation above is slope-intercept form.

• Exponential

Exponential is both increasing graph and decreasing graph depending on the coefficient.

Exponential Equation

`y = {a}^(x) \: \: \: (a > 0) \: \: (a \\eq1)`

Exponential Graph increases when a-term is greater or equal to 1.

Exponential Graph decreases when a-term is greater than 0 but less than 1.

From the equation, it is exponential of x-term as an exponent. The equation matches with exponential form.

Answer

• Exponential
