In the week that ended on January 4, there were 24 cases of flu reported in a city's hospital. In the 5 weeks that followed, the number of new cases
reported each week had grown exponentially and can be modeled by this
graph.

If the trend continued, would the number of cases reported be greater than
300 after 5 weeks? Explain or show how you know.

none.

step-by-step explanation:

m

1

=

5

m1=5

b

=

−

1

b=-1

find the slope and y-intercept of the second equation.

m

2

=

0

m2=0

b

=

−

6

b=-6

compare the slopes

m

m of the two equations.

m

1

=

5

,

m

2

=

0

m1=5,m2=0

compare the two slopes in the decimal form. if the slopes are equal, then the lines are parallel. if the slopes are not equal, then the lines are not parallel.
