Answer: The correct answer is Choice D, (5, 7).

First, we need to identify the slope from A to B.
It will be -5/-5. In other words, to go from A to B, we move down 5 spaces and left 5 spaces.

If we are going to divide the segment, we are not going to move all 5 spaces in each direction.

Since we are looking for a 2:3 ratio, we are only moving 2 out of the total of 5 spaces. It is 2 over 5, because 2 + 3 makes a total of 5.

Therefore, we only move down 2 and left 2 spaces from Point A. That will put us at the point (5, 7).

Which equation represents exponential growth?

Blababa [14]

Growth means a base for exponentiation bigger than 1 (in absolute value), otherwise it's decay.

Only the first choice has a base biggerthan 1. The last choice is equivalent to $f(x)=5 ( \frac 1 6)^x$ so has a base less than 1.
