In this question, we are given two lines.
1) y = 0.5*2^x
2) y = 2x + 25
The standard equation of a line is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
The positive slope moves the line upwards and the negative slope moves the line downwards.
If we compare both the equations, we see the 2nd equation maps with the standard line form. Hence, the second equation is a line with the slope equals to 2 and y-intercept equals 25. As the slope is positive, the line is moving upwards.
The standard equation of an exponential function is y = a*b^x, where b is the base, x is the exponent and a is the y-intercept.
The positive value of the base moves the function upwards and the negative value moves it downwards.
If we compare both the equations, we see the 1st equation maps with the standard exponential form. Hence, the 1st equation is an exponent form with the base to 2 and y-intercept equals 0.5. As the base is positive, the line is moving upwards.
