Without graphing, predict whether the function, y = 5x, shows exponential growth or decay. Justify your predictions.

It should show growth because 5x is positive

It is not exponential because it doesn't have an exponent. The exponent leads to the linear curve you see on the graph. y=5x has no exponent, meaning its a linear equation with a slope of 5.
