b
What equation do you use for exponential growth?
a.b^x where b > 1
Is the Initial Value x or y intercept?
y-intercept
What is the base for exponential Decay?
0 < b < 1.
What is the equation for linear problems?
y=mx+b

Is the equation y=3x-2 linear or exponential?
Linear
Is the equation y=2^x linear or exponential?
Exponential
What is Linear?
Adds or subtracts the same amount every time and on a graph is a straight line.
What exponential?
