Question

the process of identifying several key points on the graph of an exponential function is called ______________.

Explanation:

In the context of graphing exponential functions, the process of finding key points (like the y - intercept, points for specific x - values) to sketch the graph is known as "point - plotting". This is a fundamental technique in graphing functions where we identify and plot important points to visualize the function's shape.

Answer:

point - plotting
