Answer
Fill the blanks with:
$ x,$
$ y=0$
horizontal
Work Step by Step
The graph of $ y=b^{x}$ when $ b \gt 1$
- is above the x-axis,
- always rises,
- approaches $ y=0$ (the asymptote) on the far left,
- rises to pass through ($0,1$) on the y axis,
- continues to rise rapidly, passing through ($1,b $), ($2,b^{2})$,...
Thus, fill the blanks with:
$ x,$
$ y=0$
horizontal
