Use the domain {-1, 0, 1, 2, 3} and plot the points on the graph that would best satisfy the equation. The bold grid marks represent one unit, the horizontal red line represents the x-axis while the vertical red line represents the y-axis.

y = 2x

Answer 1

Answer:

Plot the following points on the graph

$(-1, \frac{1}{2})$, (0, 1), (1, 2), (2, 4), (3, 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

If the equation for the line is y = $2^{x}$, whatever the power/exponent  "x" equals, then y is equal to however many times 2 is multiplied by x.

For example, if our domain is {-1, 0, 1 , 2, 3}

then we would plug in each x value into the exponent to find the y-value in order to plot the points to solve the problem.

If x = -1, then y = 1/2. **If there is an a negative exponent it would get turned into a positive fraction with the denominator as the positive version of that number.

$y = 2^{-1} = \frac{1}{2^{1} } = \frac{1}{2}$

If x = 0, then y = 1

**When the exponent is 0, the number automatically equals 1.

If x = 1, then y = 2.

If x = 2, then y = 4

If x = 3, then y = 8

So you would plot the following coordinates on the graph:

$(-1, \frac{1}{2})$

(0, 1)

(1, 2)

(2, 4)

(3, 8)
