I am doing a math problem and I have several values which I plotted on a graph. The line is curved, sloping upwards. The equation I found for the line is y = 20 + 4.2x. What is the proper term for this equation or for the curve?
What is the name for the equation of a curved line?
well, because your equation only contains an x value and a y value (neither are squared), the graph of this function should be a straight line. but the proper term for an equation that curves and slopes upward should be an exponential function (because if you were to graph y=2^x, the graph would start out nearly straight and increase dramatically as you moved right on the graph).
