Compute for rectangular coordinates then connect the points to graph $f (x) = {(\frac{1}{7})}^{x}$ $f(x)=(1/7)^x$

from the given equation: $f (x) = y = {(\frac{1}{7})}^{x}$ $f(x)=y=(1/7)^x$

Compute $x$ $x$ and $y$ $y$ values:

$x, y$ $x , y$ values
-3 , 343
-2, 49
-1, 7
0, 1
1, 0.142857
2 , 0.020408
3, 0.002915

Plot the points using graphing paper and use appropriate scale:

graph{(y-(1/7)^x)=0[-10,10,-5,10]}

How do you graph the exponential function f(x)=(1/7)^xf(x)=(17)xf(x)=(1/7)^x?
