Solution

We are given the function


f(x)=((1)/(2))^x

So we have the point


\begin{gathered} f(-2)=((1)/(2))^(-2)=4 \\ \\ f(-1)=((1)/(2))^(-1)=2 \\ \\ f(0)=((1)/(2))^0=1 \\ \\ f(1)=((1)/(2))^1=(1)/(2) \\ \\ f(2)=((1)/(2))^2=(1)/(4) \end{gathered}

The five points are


\begin{gathered} (-2,4) \\ (-1,2) \\ (0,1) \\ (1,(1)/(2)) \\ (2,(1)/(4)) \end{gathered}

The asymptotes is


y=0

The graph with the asymptotes is
