Harry owns a gaming arcade in his neighborhood. He recorded the number of people who visited his arcade every month in the table below. Month, x 0 1 2 3 4
Number of People, f(x) 115 182 229 313 358

Use technology to determine the exponential equation that best represents the data. Then, predict the number of people who might visit Harry’s arcade after 6 months.

answer: h

step-by-step explanation:

b is the correct answer

one way is to plot 2 points and connect them which is what the answer choices seem to be doing

it seems to be using the y intercept and the slope

y=mx+b, m=slope, b=y-intercept (where the line hits the y axis)

slope=rise/run

y-intercept is where the line croses the y axis which is the y value where x=0

you seem to have given the wrong slope (you didn't put a number in front of te x, it should be 2/3 or 3/2 looking at the answer options)

y=? x-1

m=? because of your fault

b=-1

so it has a slope of ? and y intercept of -1, meaning it pases through (0,-1)

so draw point (0,-1) (so answer is one of the first 2 option)

if slope is 2/3, then go up 2 and right 3 then draw line through those 2 points

if slope is 3/2, then go up 3 and right 2 then draw line through those 2 points
