How can you determine if a function is linear or nonlinear from the graph of the function???

A linear function is in the form y = mx + b or f(x) = mx + b, where m is the slope or rate of change and b is the y-intercept or where the graph of the line crosses the y axis. You will notice that this function is degree 1 meaning that the x variable has an exponent of 1.

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{10})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{10}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-14}) \\\\\\ \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{-14}-\stackrel{y1}{10}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{10}-\underset{x_1}{(-2)}}}\implies \cfrac{-24}{10+2}\implies \cfrac{-24}{12}\implies -2$

$\bf \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{10}=\stackrel{m}{-2}[x-\stackrel{x_1}{(-2)}]\implies y-10=-2(x+2) \\\\\\ y-10=-2x-4\implies y=-2x+6$

Given that <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=2%20%7B%7D%5E%7Bx%7D%20%20%3D%200.125" id="TexFormula1" title="2 {}^{x} = 0.12

Luda [366]

Take the natural log of both sides

ln(2^x)=ln(.125)
Xln(2)=ln(.125)
X=ln(.125)/ln(2)
X=-3

ALTERNATIVE ROUTE:
You know that 0.125 is equal to 1/8
And 1/2^3 is also equal to 1/8
So since you need the reciprocal to match it the exponent is a negative
