Consider x to be the number of seconds and y the number of free-throws.

Then, according to the question, the equation includes points (10,3) and (60,18).

Finding the equation of a line that goes through such two points,

$\begin{gathered} (10,3),(60,18) \\ \Rightarrow y-3=(\frac{18-3}{60-10})(x-10) \\ \Rightarrow y-3=0.3x-3 \\ \Rightarrow y=0.3x \end{gathered}$

Thus, the constant of proportionality is 0.3. 0.3 free-throws per second or 3.333... seconds per free-throw

$y=\log_4x$

To find:

a) Rewrite the function in exponential form.

b) For each given value of y, find the value of x to complete the ordered pair.

c) The graph of the function.

Explanation:

It is given that,

$y=\log_4x$

a) Since,

It is known that,

$\begin{gathered} y=\log_ax \\ \Rightarrow x=a^y \end{gathered}$

Then,

$x=4^y$

Hence, the exponential form of the function is,

$x=4^y$

b) Also,

For y = -2,.

The value of x is given by,

$\begin{gathered} \\ \Rightarrow x=4^{-2} \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{1}{4^2} \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{1}{16} \end{gathered}$

Hence, the ordered pair is (1/16, -2).

For y = -1,

$\begin{gathered} x=4^{-1} \\ x=\frac{1}{4} \end{gathered}$

Hence, the ordered pair is (1/4, -1).

For y = 0,

$\begin{gathered} x=4^0 \\ x=1 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the ordered pair is (1, 0).

For y = 1,

$\begin{gathered} x=4^1 \\ x=4 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the ordered pair is (4, 1).

For y = 2,

$\begin{gathered} x=4^2 \\ x=16 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the ordered pair is (16, 2).

c) Also, the graph of the given function is,
