#y=7xx3^x# or #y=7xx(-3)^x#

An exponential function is of the type #y=ab^x#

As it passes through #(0,7)#, we have

#7=axxb^0# or #7=axx1# i.e. #a=7# and function is #y=7b^x

it also passes through #(2,63)# and hence

#63=7xxb^2# or #7b^2=63# or #b^2=9#

and hence #b=+3# or #b=-3#

and equations are #y=7xx3^x# or #y=7xx(-3)^x#
