How are y-intercepts of y=(1/3)^x and y=5(1/3)^x different?

Remark.
The easiest way to do this question is to graph it. Start with that.
The red line is y = (1/3)^x
The blue line is y = 5*(1/3)^x
Comment
The red line's y intercept is (0,1)
The blue line's y intercept is (0,5)
Why
If the x value is 0 then (1/3)^0 = 1
y = (1/3)^0 = 1 * 1 = 1 and for the blue graph
y = 5*(1/3)^0 = 5*1 = 5
In other words, in this set of equations, the 5 makes the y intercept 5 times larger than the 1 in front of y = (1/3)^x
If you have choices, could you please list them? I may be giving you the right answer but not in the form required.

Answer:
Volume = Length × Width × Height
Step-by-step explanation:
A right rectangular prism is a three-dimensional object like the one shown in the attachment. It has dimensions: Length, Width and Height. All the angles between the sides are 90°. In order to calculate the volume of an object shaped like a right rectangular prism, we use the following expression.
Volume = Length × Width × Height
