Graphing Exponential Decay in Quality Control

A quality control analyst is using the point-plotting approach to graph the function g(x)=(15)xg(x) = \left(\frac{1}{5}\right)^x, which represents the decreasing rate of equipment malfunctions following a system upgrade. Based on the characteristics of this specific function, identify the coordinates of the yy-intercept and describe the direction of the curve's slope as it moves from left to right.
