Answer:

  • y-intercept = 5
  • common ratio = 1/2

Explanation:

The y-intercept and the common ratio of an exponential function can be read from the equation. The form of the equation is ...

y = a·b^x

where 'a' is the y-intercept, and 'b' is the common ratio.

You have ...

y = 5·(1/2)^x

Comparing this to the above form, you can see that ...

y-intercept = 5

common ratio = 1/2
