When we see the equation y=a^x we can relate to all the exponential functions, however, when the problem asked what points does all equations in that form pass through. I was instantly reminded by two facts.
One is that any number to the first is equal to itself. In other words, a^1=a
Another is that any number to the zero is equal to 1. a^x=1 if that is true, 1 will always be the x value since y=a^x and 0 will always be the x value because that is how y can be equal to one. therefore, the answer is A: (0,1)
