The function y=10^x represents a population of amoebas each day. Is the slope of this function increasing or decreasing as x increases?

The slope of the function is increasing as x increases as this is an exponential equation. If x = 2, 10^x = 100. If x = 3, 10^x = 1000. If x = 4, 10^x = 10000 and so on.
