Respuesta :

You seem to have graphed y=5x+1, whereas the given function is y=5^x + 1.

y=5^x + 1 is an EXPONENTIAL FUNCTION.  y=5x+1 is a linear function and has no relevance here.

I'd suggest you FIRST graph y=5^x.  If x=0, y=1; if x=1, y=5, and so on.  Plot these points and draw a CURVE (not a straight line) through these points.

Next, move every one of the points you've already plotted UP by one unit.  Now draw a CURVE through this set of new points.  You'll then be done.
