Answer: y=4

Explanation:

The Parent function
y=a^(x) has a horizontal asymtote at y=0

because the function approaches 0 but never touches it no matter how small the number you input. See image. Asymtotes are like a boundary that is not passed

Your curve has been shifted up 4 so y=4

See image

Extra info: y-intercept = 3000

shifted right 2
