Answer: third option

Explanation:

By definition, for the function
y=b^x if 0<b<1 then the function decreases from left to right

Therefore, it cannot be the options 1 or the option 2.

As the function given in the third option of problem has a negative coefficient (which is -2) and b=0.3 (0<b<1)


y=-2*0.3^x

Then, each ouput value wil be negative.

Therefore, you can conclude that the function
y=-2*0.3^x decreases and going downwards from left to right.
