When the graph intersects the y-axis, it means it's x-coordinate is 0, or t = 0.
Hence, f(t) = 6 × 2^0 = 6.
y = 6 at y-intercept.
For find f(-2) of f(x)=7x+3, plug in -2 for x.
7(-2)+3=y
-14+3=y
y=-11
To find the rate, or the slope, you divide x/y. So 2/6 is 1/3. 3 over 9 is also 1/3. So the rate is 1/3. In rates you always divide, you don't mulitply or subtract or add to find the rate.
time would be the independent variable as it doesnt depend on the distance. distance is dependant as you need a certain amount of time to get somewhere..
