Answer: Exponential function
Step-by-step explanation:
A linear function is the form
, where m is the constant rate of change of y with respect to x and c is the y-intercept.
An exponential growth function is in the form
, where r is the rate of growth (generally in percent) and A is initial value.
If the population of a certain type of seahorse grew by 13% from year to year, then the rate of growth is 13% .
Hence it is an exponential equation.
Let there be 2x science and 5x art books
<span>science books sold = 2x × 0.2 = 0.4x </span>
<span>science books unsold = 2x – 0.4x = 1.6x </span>
<span>art books sold = 5x × 0.2 = x </span>
<span>art books unsold = 5x – x = 4x </span>
<span>total books unsold = 1.6x + 4x = 5.6x </span>
<span>5.6x = 2240 </span>
<span>x = 400 </span>
<span>2x science = 800 </span>
<span>and 5x art books = 2000 </span>
The point-slope form:

m - slope
x₁, y₁ - the coordinates of a point
It passes through the points (1,-2) and (2,2).

It a because negative times a negative is a positive
