Sentence:

The value of the _____ determines whether the graph of an exponential function increases or decreases from left to right.

We know that an exponential function is in form
$y=a\cdot b^x$ , where,

a = Initial value,

b = For growth
b>1 and for decay
b<1 .

Therefore, the value of 'b' determines whether the graph of an exponential function increases or decreases from left to right.
