Answer:

The slope-intercept form is y = 5/4x - 5/4 and the point-slope form is y - 0 = 5/4(x - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

There is no such thing as point-intercept form. There is point-slope form and slope-intercept form. To find either of those, you can follow the steps below.

First find the slope of the equation using the slope formula.

m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (5 - 0)/(5 - 1)

m = 5/4

Now we can use the slope along with a point to get the point-slope form.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 0 = 5/4(x - 1) ------->THIS IS POINT-SLOPE

Now to get slope-intercept, solve for y

y - 0 = 5/4(x - 1)

y = 5/4x - 5/4

Answer:

Directions - Identify the key components, create an exponential equation, then answer the questions.

Exponential Form: y=a\cdot b^{x},\ a\ is\ the\ \textit{starting}\ \textit{value},\ b\ is\ the\ base\ (rate).\y=a⋅b

, a is the starting value, b is the base (rate).

In a small town, the stray dog population is rapidly increasing. there are currently 15 stray dogs, and it is estimated that the population will triple every year. How many dogs will there be after 1 year? 2 years? 3 years?

1) a = 15

4) Dogs after 1 years = 45

2) b = 3

5) Dogs after 2 years = 135

3) Equation:

y= 15 ×3x

6) Dogs after 3 years =

405
