Y=0 would be a horizontal line. An asymptote is a line that a function approaches, but never reaches. Exponential functions such as these are a smooth curve. If both numbers are positive numbers greater than or equal to 1, the curve increases. If at least one of the numbers is a positive number between 0 and 1, the curve decreases. If <em>a</em> is a negative number, the curve decreases as well. If either <em>a</em> or <em>b</em> is zero, then the graph would stay constant at 0. However, as long as neither <em>a</em> nor <em>b</em> is zero, then this graph will never touch that point. The only way to get an answer of y=0 is to multiply by 0. If neither <em>a</em> nor <em>b</em> is zero, this won't happen.
Simple...
when they ask for the rate of change they ask for
slope -->>
Using

to find the rate of change for (-3,0) and (-2,-5)



m=-5
Thus, your answer.
False... a ratio equivalent to 2:5 is 4:10
2/5 × 2/2 = 4/10
Question: 2x - 4 + 5x
Simplified: 7x - 4
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:To find the x intercept using the equation of the line, plug in 0 for the y variable and solve for x. You can also use the graph of the line to find the x intercept. Just look on the graph for the point where the line crosses the x-axis, which is the horizontal axis. That point is the x intercept.
