Finding an Exponential Function Given Its Graph
This video teaches how to convert the graph of an exponential function into its equation. The video covers x intercepts, y intercepts, growth versus decay and other strategies that make this complicated skill much simpler.

Construct when given two points

Equation of a Linear Function Given Two Points
In this video, you are given the coordinates of two points that are on the graph of the function, and you have to find the equation of the function.

Ex: Find an Exponential Function Given Two Points - Initial Value Not Given
This video explains how to determine the equation of an exponential function in the form y=abx given two points on the function. The y-intercept or initial value is not given in this example.

Finding the Equation of an Exponential Function given two points
The basic graphs and formula are shown along with one example of finding the formula for an exponential function given two points that the function goes through.

Finding an Exponential Function given two points
