How to do exponential functions

In an exponential function, the independent variable, or x-value, is the exponent, while the base is a constant. For example, y = 2^x would be an exponential function. Here's what that looks like. The formula for an exponential function is y = ab^x, where a and b are constants.

I’m going to infer you said parallel.solve for yy= -1/2x+7/4lines that are parallel have the same slope, different y intercept.so we know m is -1/2then from there solve for y intercept.

The total would be 40.53
