Do you have the answer options? Sorry, can't answer without them ):
When you first look at thius graph, you should notice two things immedietly.
1. This graph will have a positive slope, because the line is going up.
2. the y-intercept is -2 because that's where it is on the y-axis.
Now, you have been given two points, (2, 1) and (0, -2). You can put these two points into the slope formula, which is: m =

=

= 3/2.
So, now you have your slope and your y-intercept. Now, just put them into y = mx + b form!
y = 3/2x - 2 (it is ubtracting two instead of adding two because it is a negative two.)
Hope this helps!!

200,000 = 158,000(1.06)^x
Divide both sides by 158,000
1.2658 = 1.06^x
Take the log of both sides and use the power rule to bring down the exponent (x) to the front.
log 1.2658 = x log 1.06
Divide both sides by log 1.06
log (1.2658)/log(1.06) = x
x = 4 years
CHECK
y = 158,000(1.06)^4
y = 199,471.36
I am pretty sure it’s an inch or A but if i’m wrong sorry
