Determine whether the rule represents an exponential function. Explain why or why not.
y=-11.x
Choose the correct answer below.
A. Since the independent variable x is the base, y=-11.x does represent an exponential function.
B. Since the independent variable x is not the base, y = -11.x does not represent an exponential function.

C. Since the independent variable x is not the exponent, y=-11.x does not represent an exponential function.
D. Since the independent variable x is the exponent, y = - 11.x represents an exponential function.
