Answer

Solve the system of equations for a and b, then construct the equation: \(y = 8b^{x}\)

Steps

Step 1 ：Identify two points on the graph: \((x_1, y_1) = (0, 8)\),\((x_2, y_2) = (1, 70)\)

Step 2 ：By substituting the points, write the two equations: \(8 = ab^{0}\), \(70 = ab^{1}\)

Step 3 ：Solve the system of equations for a and b, then construct the equation: \(y = 8b^{x}\)
