I need help with graphing Logarithmic function. What would this look like on a graph.

f(x)=(1/5)^x
------------
You can graph it on Excel easily.
It decreases in y-value (of f(x) value) from right to left, ie, the slope is always negative (because the base is less than 1). The slope becomes less as x increases. Like all exponentials, it passes thru the point (0,1).
