True False
The y-intercept is -4.

The x-intercept is -4.

This is a linear function.

This is an exponential function.

The function can be represented by y=32x−4


The function is increasing.

To determine whether the statements about the function's graph are true or false, we would need to analyze the graph itself. However, since I cannot see the graph, I can guide you on how to evaluate each statement based on common characteristics of linear and exponential functions:

  1. The y-intercept is -4.

    • True or False: Check the graph to see where the line crosses the y-axis. If it crosses at -4, then it’s true.
  2. The x-intercept is -4.

    • True or False: Check where the line crosses the x-axis. If it crosses at -4, then it’s true.
  3. This is a linear function.

    • True or False: If the graph is a straight line, then it’s true. If it curves, it's false.
  4. This is an exponential function.

    • True or False: If the graph shows a constant rate of change (straight line), then it’s false. If it increases/decreases exponentially (curved line), it's true.
  5. The function can be represented by y=32x−4.

    • True or False: Compare this equation to the graph. If it fits the line represented by the graph, it's true.
  6. The function is increasing.

    • True or False: If the graph goes upwards from left to right, this is true; if it goes downwards, it's false.

If you have specific details about the graph, feel free to share them, and I can help you assess the statements with more accuracy!
