This equation is a form of exponential decay because the number being raised the power is a fraction, and whenever a fraction is raised to a positive power, the result decreases. In order to find the y-intercept, plug in zero as the x and find y. Whenever a number is raised to the zero power, the answer is always one.
y=0.6(110)x,x=0,y=0.6(110)0=0.6
