Answer
$\text{exponential growth}$;
$y$-intercept = $0.1$
Work Step by Step
RECALL:
The exponential function $y=c \cdot a^x$ represents an exponential:
(i) decay when $0\lt a \lt 1$;
(ii) growth when $a \gt 1$
The given exponential function has $a=10$ which is greater than $1$.
Thus, the given function represents exponential growth.
The $y$-intercept of a function can be found by sestting $x=0$ then solving for $y$.
Hence, the $y$-intercept is
\begin{align*}
y&=0.1 \cdot \left(10\right)^{x}\\
y&=0.1 \cdot 10^0\\
y&=0.1 (1)\\
y&=0.1
\end{align*}
