it slopes downward. it has a negative slope. it it really high when it is close to zero but gets really low as the x-value goes greater.

Yuo cannot include a graphical illustration here. Take a look at the Wikipedia, under "exponential function" and "logistic function". Basically, the exponential function increases faster and faster over time. The logistics function initially increases similarly to an exponential function, but then eventually flattens out, tending toward a horizontal asymptote.
an exponential function flipped over the line y=x
It is an exponential function.
When the graphdecreasesat a rapid rate. Instead of just a negative straight line it will be a negative half parabola decreasingextremelyfast and then leveling out.
If two variables are inversely related, then a graph showing their relationship should be shaped like a hyperbola. A hyperbola will start out really high, drop a lot in a short distance, then drop less and less as the graph goes further to the right. It looks similar to an exponential decay function, but less extreme. Here is an example of what one could look like: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=1%2F4x (In most practical applications, only the right side of the graph would be shown.)
