I'm no expert either, but it seems correct. The power law distribution has each X value in an X/Y series decreasing by a specific factor, like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_law#/media/File:Long_tai...
The exponential has each X value increasing by a specific factor, like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_function#/media/Fi...
