Why do whole numbers raised to an exponent get greater well fractions raised to an exponent get smaller

Because when you raise an exponent on a fraction, it is basically dividing into itself.  Imagine 1/3 multiplied my 3 (Ans is 1), the fractions aren't whole numbers so when they multiply into another number, it uses division

I’m pretty sure the slope would be 1 since the x and y values increase by 1
