Answer:
1764
Step-by-step explanation:

We have that
y = 2(0.45)^x
in this problem
2-----------> is the Coefficient
0.45-------> is the Base
<span>x-----------> is the Exponent
we know that
</span><span>If
the base is less than 1 (but always greater than 0), the function will be
exponential decay
</span>It is decay because as x values
increase, y values decrease.
<span>0.45 < 1 and 0.45 > 0
therefore
the equation
</span>y = 2(0.45)^x
represents <span>exponential
decay
</span>
the answer is
exponential decay<span>
</span>
The y-intercept, in this case, represents when x is at 0, or when she just began observing.
Answer:
y + 1 = -1/2(x - 8)

Slope Formula: 
Point-Slope Form: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
- x₁ - x coordinate
- y₁ - y coordinate
- m - slope
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
f(8) = -1 → Coordinate (8, -1)
f(6) = 0 → Coordinate (6, 0)
<u>Step 2: Find slope </u><em><u>m</u></em>
- Substitute [SF]:

- Add/Subtract:

- Simplify:

<u>Step 3: Write Function</u>
<em>Substitute into general form.</em>
- Point 1: y + 1 = -1/2(x - 8)
- Point 2: y = -1/2(x - 6)
