The function is not linear because the slope is not constant. I am pretty sure that it is an exponential function, since the line approaches 0 but never touches it, and it grows exponentially. The exponential parent function is f(x)=b^x.
Hope this helped.
Well -12 * i is equal to -12 √-1
You can do this by dividing the top number (the numerator) by the bottom number (denominator). You can use a calculator, but your pic is to blurry for me to read the problem.
