Answer:
Function 1:
The starting point is (0,0.5)
As x increases, y increases
Function 2:
The starting point is (0,3)
As x increases, y decreases
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the starting point, we need to plug in x=0.
[tex]y=0.5+3(0)\\\\y=0.5[/tex]
[tex]y=3(0.5)^0\\\\y=3(1)\\\\y=3[/tex]
As we plug in increasing numbers into function#1, the y-value increases
As we plug in increasing numbers into function #2, the y-value is decreasing
