Question

50 POINTS TIMED!! Which of the following shows the graph of y = 4x + 3? On a coordinate plane, an exponential function starts at y = 3 in quadrant 2 and then increases rapidly into quadrant 1. On a coordinate plane, an exponential function starts at y = 0 in quadrant 2 and then increases rapidly in quadrant 2. On a coordinate plane, an exponential function starts at y = 0 in quadrant 2 and then increases rapidly into quadrant 1. On a coordinate plane, an exponential function starts at y = negative 3 in quadrant 3 and then increases rapidly into quadrant 1.

Answer 1

Explanation:

f(x) = a(b)^x + d

Answer 2

1st Graph

Explanation:

Parent Graph of Exponentials: f(x) = a(b)^x + d

Since we are only modifying the base exponent and d (vertical movement), we should see that if we are only moving up and down, that graph 1 is the best choice.

Alternatively, we could graph the equation and choose the best fit:
