With any graph, we can make a table of values, and then plot them.
#xcolor(white)(aaa)|color(white)(aaa)y#
#-3color(white)(l/l)|color(white)(2/2)5^(-3)=1/125#
#0color(white)(aaa)|color(white)(aaa)5^0=1#
#1color(white)(aaa)|color(white)(aaa)5^1=5#
#2color(white)(aaa)|color(white)(aaa)5^2=25#
#3color(white)(aaa)|color(white)(aaa)5^3=125#
#4color(white)(aaa)|color(white)(aaa)5^4=625#
Notice, as #x# increases slowly, #y# balloons up really quickly. This means our parabola has a very high slope for positive values.

Hope this helps!
