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