Question 211511This question is from textbook Elementary and Intermediate Algebra
: 1. Evaluate the exponential equation for three positive values of x, three negative values of x, and at x=0. Use the resulting ordered pairs to plot the graph. State the equation of the line asymptotic to the graph (if any).
I'm not sure how to evaluate the equation for the values it's asking for. Where do I start? I know how to plot all the points of the graph, I just don't know how to get the correct numbers with the problem below. Please help!
y = 3(x - 4) This question is from textbook Elementary and Intermediate Algebra

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I will give you one, then try it on your own.
y=3(x-4)
y=3x-12
y=3(2)-12
y=6-12
y=-6
(2,-6)
Pick two more positive numbers and then the negative numbers plus zero.
In fact if x=0 y=-12
(0,-12)
Good luck
