How can you use a number line to solve an equation?

hope this helps. i might be wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

First, draw a number line.

Then, find the location of the first integer on the number line.

Next, if the second integer is positive, move that many units to the right from the location of the first integer. If the second integer is negative, move that many units to the left from the location of the first integer.

Your answer will be the point you end on.

Increasing

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is given below:

Given that

y = 74 × (1.01)^8

= 74 × 1.082856706

= 80.1314

As it can be seen that the initial amount is 74 but after solving the given equation the value is increased as it shows 80.1314

Therefore it is increasing
