What is the equation of the exponential graph shown?

on the question it has this little thingie where my answer goes. there are a lot of blanks. there is, blank = blank blank blank ( blank blank blank ) blank blank blank blank blank. you don't have to fill in all five of the blanks at the end.
and the options are, 1 2 3 4 5 6 8 0 . - + ^2 ^4 ^x ^y x y

Check the 1st picture below.

well, from the picture, we can see that when x = 0, y = 100, also that when x = 1, y = 50.

let's recall that an exponential equation is in the form of y = abˣ.

[tex]\bf y = ab^x \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ (\stackrel{x}{0}~~,~~\stackrel{y}{100})\qquad 100 = ab^0\implies 100=a(1)\implies \boxed{100=a} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ (\stackrel{x}{1}~~,~~\stackrel{y}{50})\qquad y=ab^x\implies y = 100b^x\implies 50 =100b^1 \\\\\\ 50=100b\implies \cfrac{50}{100}=b\implies \boxed{\cfrac{1}{2}=b} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ ~\hfill y = 100\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^x~\hfill[/tex]

now, if you graph that in your graphing calculator, it'd be more or less like the 2nd picture below.
