Question

HELP ASAP!!! DUE SOON!!! Linear,exponential, or neither?

Answer 1

Answer:

It is therefore a exponential function, as y increases with x.

Step-by-step explanation:

coordinates: ( 7 , 5 ) , ( 16 , 10 )

Slope: $\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

         : $\frac{10-5}{16-7}$

         : $\frac{5}{9}$

equation: y - y1 = m( x - x1 )

              : $y - 5 = \frac{5}{9}(x - 7)$

              : $y = \frac{5}{9}x+\frac{10}{9}$

check if third coordinates matches:

$y = \frac{5}{9}(25)+\frac{10}{9}$

$y = 15$ ......does not match, so its not linear.
