Drawing an Exponential Regression Graph (
y
=
a
·
b
x
)
Exponential regression can be used when
y
is proportional to the exponential function of
x
. The normal exponential regression formula in this case is
y
=
a
·
b
x
. If we take the natural
logarithms of both sides, we get ln(
y
) = ln(
a
) + (ln(
b
)) ·
x
. Next, if we say that Y = ln(
y
),
A = ln(
a
) and B = ln(
b
), the formula corresponds to the linear regression formula Y = A + B·
x
.
