The functions f(x) and g(x) are shown below.

f(x) = (0.001)^x
g(x) = 0.001x

Which statement best describes the graph of f(x) and g(x)?

The graph of f(x) will eventually exceed the graph of g(x).

The graph of g(x) will eventually exceed the graph of f(x).

The graphs will both have their y-intercept equal to 1.

The graphs will both have their y-intercept equal to 0.001.

I know it's not the last 2 options. I really think it's the second.

You would be correct then Miss Lena. The exponential graph is gradually decreasing, while the linear graph, even though it is barely increasing, is still increasing.
