An exponential function is graphed in the xy‑plane. if the graph of the function is always decreasing and has a y‑intercept of 20, which of the following could be the function's equation? a) y=−20(1.75)^x b) y=20(1.75)^x c) y=-20(0.75)^x d) y=20(0.75)^x

When graphing a linear equation that is written in the form y=mx+b, the variable m represents the y-intercept. assuming that b> 0, which of the following best describes how reversing the sign of b would affect the graph? a) the new line will be shifted down b units b) the new line will be shifted down b x 2 units c) the new line will be a perfect reflection across the x-axis d) the new line will be a perfect reflection across the y-axis

Alex is the head photographer for the yearbook and the newspaper. she has a large staff of assistant photographers because they need to take pictures at all of the school events. she knows that some of her photographers have better cameras and can take action shots at sporting events, and that some of them are good at taking candid pictures in the hallways. she sets firm deadlines so she has enough time to look through all of the shots and choose the best ones. she gives her photographers constructive feedback to them improve their pictures. respectful enforcer warlord doormat peacemaker
