Respuesta :

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A: Linear Equation.

  • One of the points is (0,15). This means 0,15 is the y intercept so b=15.

We can find the slope

[tex] \frac{5 - 15}{1 - 0 } = \frac{ - 10}{1} = - 10[/tex]

So our equation is

[tex]y = - 10x + 15[/tex]

Part B: Exponential Equation

We know that

[tex]15 = a \times b {}^{0} [/tex]

B to the zero power is 1 so

[tex]15 = a[/tex]

This means a =15. Now let find b.

[tex]5 = 15 \times b {}^{1} [/tex]

[tex] \frac{1}{3} = b[/tex]

So the equation is

[tex]y = 15( \frac{1}{3} ) {}^{x} [/tex]
