Question 302108: Evaluate the exponential equation for three positive values of x, three negative values of x, and at x=0. Show your work. Use the resulting ordered pairs to plot the graph. State the equation of the line asymptotic to the graph (if any).
y = (1/4)^x – 3
I am working on the x values and these are the ones I have but they seem not to work when I am doing my graph. x = -3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3
I worked out the equation with them int it but it does not look right. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If they are the wrong values please show me they right ones. PLEASE PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y = (1/4)^x – 3
I am working on the x values and these are the ones I have but they seem not to work when I am doing my graph.
x....y
-3...61
-2...13
-1...1
0....-2
1....-11/4
2....-47/16
3....-191/64
y = -3 is the asymptote
