Find the slope of the line passing throught the points (2, 2) and (4, 3).
The formula of a slope:
Substitute:
If the point (x, -1) lie on the same line, then the slope of line passing through the points (2, 2) and (x, -1) the same:
Substitute:
We have the equation:
<em>cross multiply</em>
<em>add 2 to both sides</em>
We have 
Plug in

⇒
So we now have
Plug in

⇒![b=\sqrt[3]{\frac{95}{4}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=b%3D%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B%5Cfrac%7B95%7D%7B4%7D%7D)
which is approximately 2.874
So we get
![y=4(\sqrt[3]{\frac{95}{4}})^{x}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%3D4%28%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B%5Cfrac%7B95%7D%7B4%7D%7D%29%5E%7Bx%7D)
or, in decimal form,
