Exponential Graph (y = a·bˣ) | Interactive Graph

Exponential Graph

An exponential graph represents a function where the variable is in the exponent. The most common form is:

y = a · bx

Use the controls below to explore exponential growth and exponential decay.


Current function: y = 1 · 2x


How to read an exponential graph

  • y-intercept: always at (0, a).
  • Growth: if b > 1, the graph rises rapidly.
  • Decay: if 0 < b < 1, the graph falls toward the x-axis.
  • Asymptote: the graph approaches y = 0 but never touches it.

🧮 Examples

  • y = 2x → exponential growth
  • y = 0.5x → exponential decay
  • y = 3·1.2x → scaled growth
