a is the y intercept, b is the multiplier(if b is 2 than the line doubles for every x) y is the value of the line and x is how far over on the x axis.

# data[].attributes.body
When you must word with exponential functions, we use the equation y=a x b^x. The a is the y intercept and the b is the multiplier.

# data[].attributes.body
Plug the term number in for the x in your equation and solve. The answer to this equation would be your y value for a point on the graph and your term number that you just plugged in would be your x value for your point. Keep doing this with different term numbers until you get something that looks like what is drawn below.

# data[].attributes.body
You can sketch it by putting X values into the equation and plotting the points.

# data[].attributes.body
Then since you have your y value, you would substitute that into your equation.

# data[].attributes.body
The Y intercept would be 7, and the multiplier is 2.

# data[].attributes.body
When working with exponential functions, we use the equation y=ab^x. A represents term zero, which is the y-intercept on a graph. B represents the multiplier, and x represents the term number. We can use this to help us graph. Here's an example.

# data[].attributes.body
7 is term zero
2 is the multiplier

# data[].attributes.body
The y-intercept, or a, would be 7. The multiplier, or b, would be 2.

# data[].attributes.body
To put an equation on to a graph what you have to do is plot a few points, and then connect.w 7 being your y-intercept for this graph and 2 being the multiplier on this graph.

# data[].attributes.body
a= the y-intercept, and this is your first point
b= the multiplier, you multiply your y-intercept by this to get your next point

# data[].attributes.body
Y=a(b)^x
a is the starting point so you plot that on the graph in this case it would be 7. then you would have be and that would be the multiplier. that would be 2 in this case

# data[].attributes.body
First you need to know y=ab^. The y-intercept (a) would be 7. The multiplier (b) would be 2.

# data[].attributes.body
You can sketch it by knowing the equation for it... y=ab^ x.

# data[].attributes.body
When you know what a is, you know where your y-intercept is. Then b is your growth, so you can use this like your slope.

y=7(2)^x

# data[].attributes.body
To graph an exponential function, you need to know y=a(b)^x. For y=7(2)^x, the a value (y-int.) is 7, and the b value (multiplier) is 2.

# data[].attributes.body
Y intercept is 7
Multiplier is 2

# data[].attributes.body
your y-intercept would be 7.Then I would put number in for x to complete my graph.

# data[].attributes.body
Y=a(b)^x
A is the starting point, so to graph it you would plot that point as your y-intercept. B is the growth, which you can graph like a slope by starting from your y-intercept and going up and over as your growth instructs.

# data[].attributes.body
The starting point is so 7 s

# data[].attributes.body
In order to sketch a graph from the equation, you need to know y=ab^. A is the starting point and b is the multiplier. A reasonable graph for the equation y=7(2)^x is we know it is increasing because it doubles each time because 2 is the multipler.

# data[].attributes.body
The starting point is 7 so you put a dot on 7 on the y axis, then you go up 2 then over one continuosly

# data[].attributes.body
First, graph a in the equation y=a*b^x which is the starting point. B is the multiplier so it will double at the y axis as it grows by one at the x axis.

# data[].attributes.body
The equation for an exponential graph is y=a(b)^x. In this equation, a would equal 7 because it is the y intercept. 2 would equal b because it is the multiplier and x is still the term number.

# data[].attributes.body
To sketch a graph you put have 'a' to go on the 'y' axis. You use 'x' to substitute numbers in.

# data[].attributes.body
y=a*b^x

# data[].attributes.body
You can sketch this equation for your graph by having you would use 7 as your y-intercept and 2 as your multiplier.

# data[].attributes.body
y= a times b to the x power

# data[].attributes.body
You can sketch a graph from a exponential function by knowing the a is where the line crosses the y intercept and b is how much the line grows each time.

# data[].attributes.body
To graph it use the a or 7 in this case as the y-intercept. b is your multiplier x is the term you want to know

# data[].attributes.body
When you are looking at the equation "a" would be the y-intercept. "b" is the multiplier, but in the case of this equation "b" would be the growth rate.

# data[].attributes.body
you can first tell the shape and direction of the graph by looking at the value of B. you already know the y intercept since it's your a value, and then you can plug in some numbers for x and connect the graph.

# data[].attributes.body
The starting point/ y intercept is 7 and I would double it an x amount of times. 2 is the growth rate of the equation.If it was x^4, then I would do 7x2x2x2x2.

# data[].attributes.body
For the equation y+7(2)^x 7 the y-intercept is 7 and this is the starting point, and also 2 is the starting point and it is by how much it is increasing.

# data[].attributes.body
It would start at seven and double each one ongoing starting at 1, 2, 3, 4 etc.

# data[].attributes.body
To sketch a graph you need the equation y= a times (b) to the xth power. A is the y intercept and b is the growth of the equation.

# data[].attributes.body
To sketch a graph you ca use the 'a' to put a point on the 'y' axis. Then, you can substitute numbers in for 'x' and plot the points. That is how you sketch a graph from the equation

# data[].attributes.body
Y=a * b

# data[].attributes.body
The starting point or y-intercept is 7 and then the growth is (2)^x. You plug a number in for x and multiply it by 7 to get the answer.

# data[].attributes.body
In the equation y=7(2)^x 7 represents the y-intercept or the starting point and 2 represents the increase or multiplier.

# data[].attributes.body
To sketch a graph you need to know that a= the y intercept and b is the multiplier. X is the term you want to know

# data[].attributes.body
The exponential equation y = a (b) to the power of x allows you to find the starting value and growth rate in the table or situation. In the equation, "a" would be term zero in the case of a table. In the case of a situation, "a" would be the starting value. In the case of a graph, "a" would be the y-intercept. In the equation, "b" would equal the multiplier, or difference between terms, in case of a table. In the case of a situation, "b" would be the growth rate.

# data[].attributes.body
Because "a" is the starting value, on a graph it will be the y-intercept. "b" is the multiplier, so on a graph it will be the slope or pattern of growth.

# data[].attributes.body
In the equation y= ab to the x, we learned that a represents the y- intersect (term 0) and b represents the multiplier that use use to find the follows terms such as 1, 2, 3, etc

# data[].attributes.body
y=a x bx can be the same thing as y=mx + b. The a and the b both equal the first term and the y int. The b and the m both equal the multiplier.

# data[].attributes.body
The Y intercept is the 7. Then the number 2 or the multiplier so you can use that as your slope.

# data[].attributes.body
The y-intercept is 7 and you can use that and multiply it by 2.

# data[].attributes.body
The y-intercept is 7 and use 2 as your slope.

# data[].attributes.body
The y-intercept is 7 and from there just use the slope 2^x to make your line

# data[].attributes.body
You could put a number in for x to find out what y will be so you would then be able to graph the points you get.

# data[].attributes.body
To sketch a graph you must use the equation. If y=a * b (to the x power). A is the starting value or figure zero and be is the sequence's pattern or slope.

# data[].attributes.body
In an exponential function equation A represents the y-intercept and b is the multiplier.

# data[].attributes.body
In order to make an exponential graph with an equation, you'd put in "a" as the y-intercept because it is term 0. Once you start with term 0, you'd multiply that by the multiplier given and get the next points on the graph.

# data[].attributes.body
To sketch a graph you would need to know that "a" is the y-intercept or term 0. In this case, the y-intercept is 7. To sketch a graph of an exponential function, you would also need to know that the term in the parenthesis is "b". "b" is the multiplier.
