### Understanding Exponential Functions

**Question:**
Which of the following is true of the exponential function \( y = \left(\frac{1}{3}\right) \cdot 6^x \)? Choose all that apply.

**Options:**
1. \[\] \(y\)-intercept is \( \frac{1}{3} \).
2. \[\] Constant ratio is \( \frac{1}{3} \).
3. \[\] \(y\)-intercept is \( 6 \).
4. \[\] The graph is below:

5. \[\] Constant ratio is \( 6 \).
6. \[\] The graph is below:

### Explanation of Graphs

**Graph 1:**
Graph 1 displays an exponential function where the curve starts from a point below the origin and rises steeply as \(x\) increases. It shows an upward trajectory, indicating a rapid increase in \(y\) values for corresponding \(x\) values.

**Graph 2:**
Graph 2 shows another exponential curve, but this one rises much steeper than the first, indicating a very rapid increase in \(y\) values as \(x\) increases. The initial part of the curve is relatively flat but quickly moves upwards.

### Selecting the Correct Answers
To correctly determine the true statements about the function \( y = \left(\frac{1}{3}\right) \cdot 6^x \):

- **Intercept Calculation:**
  - When \( x = 0 \):
    \[
    y = \left(\frac{1}{3}\right) \cdot 6^0 = \left(\frac{1}{3}\right) \cdot 1 = \frac{1}{3}
    \]
  - Thus, the y-intercept is \( \frac{1}{3} \).

- **Constant Ratio:**
  - The constant ratio in exponential functions of the form \( y = ab^x \) is the base \( b \). Here, the base \( b = 6 \), therefore the constant ratio is \( 6 \).

### Correct Options
Therefore, the correct
