Graph

1.Curve Shape: The graph is described as a gradually increasing curve.

2.y-Values: The y-values start from negative infinity and increase towards 0.

3.y-Intercept: The graph intersects the y-axis at the point (0, -1).

Analysis

Linear Function:

Form: A linear function is of the form y = mx + c, where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

Behavior: A linear function results in a straight line. If the graph were linear, it would either increase or decrease at a constant rate, which does not match the description of gradually increasing from negative infinity to approach 0.

Exponential Function:

Form: Exponential functions are often expressed as
