Pick convenient values for x. Suggestion is find f(x)=y values for x values of -2, -1, 0, 1, 2; and then plot those points.

-----
Note: y approaches +oo as x goes to -oo
Let x = -1, the y = (1/15)^(-1) = 15 ; plot (-1,15)
Let x = 0, then y = (1/15)^0 = 1 ; plot (0,1)
Let x = 1, then y = (1/15)^1 = 1/15 ; plot (1,1/15)
Note: y approaches zero as x goes to +oo
