    There is no y-intercept?
    I need to find the equation for a graph that has no y-intercept and starts at (1,1) the graph in creases at an increasing rate and the only part of the equation I have figured out is that it goes along the lines of 2^x(2 to the power of x), how do I make this equation?

    does have a y-intercept...

    At x = 0,

    And this line does not pass through (1, 1), but through (1, 2).

    One easy curve is:



    EDIT: This one decreases though... I'll be thinking of another one..

    Maybe this will work, since y = x increases constantly and y = 1/x gradually, adding the two would give a constant increase.



    or if the increase is not enough, you can boost it a little ;)
