Explanation
The formula for an exponential equation is given as;
[tex]y=ab^x[/tex]
when x= 0 and y=-50
[tex]\begin{gathered} -50=ab^0 \\ a=-50 \end{gathered}[/tex]
When x =1 and y =-250
[tex]\begin{gathered} -250=ab^1 \\ ab=-250 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Recall a =-50, therefore;
[tex]\begin{gathered} -50b=-250 \\ b=-\frac{250}{-50} \\ b=5 \end{gathered}[/tex]
The formula can then be rewritten as;
[tex]y=-50(5)^x[/tex]
Since the parameters of the table can be used to create an exponential equation, therefore the ordered pairs satisfy an exponential function.
