HELP WITH THIS ASAP!

5. (04.07)which of the following exponential functions goes through the points (1, 12) and (2, 36)? (2 points)f(x) = 3(4)^xf(x) = 4(3)^-xf(x) = 3(4)^-xf(x) = 4(3)^x

50 points~ ! i have to turn this in tomarrow

In order for the function to be linear, what must m be and why? m = 22 because the rate of change is 1. m = 20 because the rate of change is 3. m = 22 because the rate of change is -1. m = 20 because the rate of change is -3.
