#y_2=27/38y_1#

Explanation:

Let #y_1=3.8(1.2)^x# and #y_2=2.7(1.2)^x#

Usually, when we think about what transformations occured from a function to another, we ask what terms got added onto it, multiplied, or raised to a power. In our case, we see the coefficient has changed, hence the change is given by

#"Change"=y_2/y_1=2.8/3.7=28/37#

#=> y_2=28/37y_1#
