Question

Consider the function y = a ∙ b^{(x - h)} + k. If the function has a horizontal asymptote at y = -50 and passes through the points (1, -30) and (3, -40), and b = 2. Which of the following statements best describes the effect of doubling the value of k?

Options

The new horizontal asymptote becomes y = -100 and the function passes through points that are twice as far from the x-axis.

The new horizontal asymptote becomes y = -25 and the function passes through points that are closer to the x-axis.

The new horizontal asymptote remains y = -50 but the function passes through points that are twice as far from the horizontal asymptote.

The new horizontal asymptote remains y = -100 and the function passes through points that are shifted downward by the same amount as the decrease in k.
