The analysis of the given functions is as follows;
i. <em>y</em> = 16ˣ ⇒ Graph <em>C</em>
ii. <em>y</em> = 0.25ˣ ⇒ Graph <em>B</em>
iii. <em>y</em> = 4.5ˣ ⇒ Graph <em>D</em>
iv. <em>y</em> = 0.5ˣ ⇒ Graph <em>A</em>
v. <em>y</em> = 10·x + 1 ⇒ Graph E
(b) The equation of the exponential function is; y = 0.375ˣ
(c) The equation of the line is; <em>y</em> = 10·x - 4
(d) y = 25ˣ
(e) The equation of the perpendicular line is; <em>y</em> ≈ 5 - 0.1·x
<h3>What are exponential functions?</h3>
An exponential function in which the argument is the index value such that the power to which a constant is raised, is the argument.
i. The values of the function <em>y</em> = 16ˣ is given by the function that has a value of <em>4</em> when <em>x</em> = 0.5, which corresponds with the graph <em>C</em>
ii. The function, <em>y</em> = 0.25ˣ decreases as the value of <em>x</em> increases, from negative to positive which corresponds to the graph <em>B</em>
iii. The function <em>y</em> = 4.5ˣ has a value of 4.5 when <em>x</em> = 1, which corresponds with the graph <em>D</em>
iv. The function, <em>y</em> = 0.5ˣ also decreases as <em>x</em> increases and has a value of 5 when <em>x</em> = -1, which corresponds to the graph <em>A</em>
v. The function, <em>y</em> = 10·x + 1 is a linear function which corresponds with the graph <em>E</em>
(b) The exponential function of graph <em>A</em> and <em>B</em> are y = 0.5ˣ and <em>y</em> = 0.25ˣ respectively
An exponential function that lies between graph <em>A</em> and graph <em>B</em> is obtained by adjusting the y-intercept value to be between 0.5 and 0,25 as follows;

The exponential function that is located between graph <em>A</em> and <em>B</em> is 0.375ˣ
(c) The equation of the function of graph <em>E </em>is; y = 10·x + 1, which is of the form <em>y</em> = m·x + c
Where comparing, we get, <em>m</em> = 10 = The slope of the graph
The slope of parallel lines are congruent, therefore, the slope of the line parallel to the line <em>E</em> is also 10
The equation of the line passing through (0, -4), and parallel to the graph <em>E</em> in point and slope form is y - (-4) = 10·(x - 0)
y + 4 = 10·x
The equation of the line is; <em>y</em> = 10·x - 4
(d) An equation for an exponential function with a higher constant percent rate than graph <em>C</em>, <em>y </em>= i6ˣ is y = 25ˣ
(e) The slope of the line perpendicular to the line <em>E, </em>y<em> </em>= 10·x + 1, that has a slope <em>m</em>, is found as follows;


The equation of the line is therefore; y - 5 = -0.1 × (x - 0)
y = -0.1·x + 5 = 5 - 0.1·x
The equation of the line perpendicular to line <em>E</em> is y = 5 - 0.1·x
