The variables \(x\) and \(y\) satisfy the equation \(y = A \left( b ^ { x } \right)\), where \(A\) and \(b\) are constants. The graph of \(\ln y\) against \(x\) is a straight line passing through the points \(( 0,2.14 )\) and \(( 5,4.49 )\), as shown in the diagram. Find the values of \(A\) and \(b\), correct to 1 decimal place.
