Answer: Option 1

Explanation:

We must first note that this function is written in slope intercept form

f(x) = mx + b, where m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept.

In this case f(x) can be rewritten as

f(x) = -1(x) + 6.

Therefore the slope is -1 and the y-intercept is 6. We can eliminate the

options where the slope is positive (increasing).

In addition, we can eliminate the option where the y-intercept is not 6.

Thus the first option best matches the function.
