Understanding Linear and Exponential Functions

The video tutorial explains the graphs of a linear function and an exponential function, both passing through the points (-1, 9) and (1, 1). It derives the equation of the linear function by calculating the slope and y-intercept, resulting in f(x) = -4x + 5. The exponential function is analyzed using the given points, leading to the equation g(x) = 3 * (1/3)^x. The tutorial emphasizes understanding the behavior of these functions and their graphical representations.

What is the general form of a linear function?

• f(x) = x^2 + y^2

• f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c

• f(x) = mx + b

• f(x) = a * r^x
