Answer:
A general exponential equation is written as:
f(x) = A*(r)^x
Where:
A is the initial value, this is the value that the function takes when x = 0.
r is the rate of growth
x is the variable.
In this case, the function is:
f(x) = 2*(4)^x
The initial value is:
f(0) = 2*(4)^0 = 2*1 = 2
The initial value is 2.
And the rate of growth is 4.
So Martin seems to mixed these two values (he said initial value = 4, and rate = 2, which is the opposite of what we found)
Answer:
We get value of y: y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The points (3,5) and (2, y) are on a line with a slope of 3. Find y.
We can find y using formula of finding slope of a line.
The formula is: 
We have
and Slope = 3
Putting values and finding y

So, we get value of y: y = 2
The midpoint formula for a segment is:

apply to points R and P

using the definition of slope find the slope of the segment

apply to points R and P

to lines are parallel when the slopes are the same

two lines are perpendicular when the product of the slopes is equal to -1
