8×.25=2
8-2=6
so what you would do is make a bar graph where the y axis would be years and the x axis being height
Using the slope-intercept form, the slope is 3 3 . To find an equation that is parallel<span>to </span>y=3x−2 y<span> = 3 x - </span>2<span> , the slopes must be equal. Using the slope of the equation, find the </span>parallel line<span> using the point-slope formula. Find the value of b b using the formula for the equation of a </span>line<span>.</span>
To check the decay rate, we need to check the variation in y-axis.
Since our interval is
![-2We need to evaluate both function at those limits.At x = -2, we have a value of 4 for both of them, at x = 0 we have 1 for the exponential function and 0 to the quadratic function. Let's call the exponential f(x), and the quadratic g(x).[tex]\begin{gathered} f(-2)=g(-2)=4 \\ f(0)=1 \\ g(0)=0 \end{gathered}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=-2We%20need%20to%20evaluate%20both%20function%20at%20those%20limits.%3Cp%3E%3C%2Fp%3E%3Cp%3EAt%20x%20%3D%20-2%2C%20we%20have%20a%20value%20of%204%20for%20both%20of%20them%2C%20at%20x%20%3D%200%20we%20have%201%20for%20the%20exponential%20function%20and%200%20to%20the%20quadratic%20function.%20Let%27s%20call%20the%20exponential%20f%28x%29%2C%20and%20the%20quadratic%20g%28x%29.%3C%2Fp%3E%3Cp%3E%3C%2Fp%3E%5Btex%5D%5Cbegin%7Bgathered%7D%20f%28-2%29%3Dg%28-2%29%3D4%20%5C%5C%20f%280%29%3D1%20%5C%5C%20g%280%29%3D0%20%5Cend%7Bgathered%7D)
To compare the decay rates we need to check the variation on the y-axis of both functions.

Now, we calculate their ratio to find how they compare:

This tell us that the exponential function decays at three-fourths the rate of the quadratic function.
And this is the fourth option.
If your trying to find the unit rate or the scale of the map, you need to figure out how many kilometers are per centimeters. To get that you need to do 63 divided by 9, witch would get you 7. So to my ability, the answer would be 1 cm per 7 kilometers. Hopefully this answer helped you and I'm hoping its correct.
