Answer:

first (small) graph

Explanation:

Immediately eliminate answers 2 and 3 because their slopes are +.

The slope of the fourth graph is "steep", too great to fit in with m = -1/5.

On the other hand, the slope of the first graph is gentle, as befits m = -1/5.

The first graph is the correct one.
