Please help, I'd really appreciate it! 13 pts!

The location of an ant from a tree was 3 meters west (negative direction). The ant walked towards the tree at a constant rate and reached the tree in 2 minutes. If y represents the location of the ant from the tree, in meters, and x represents the time in minutes, which graph best represents this situation?
(The graphs are below)

Answer:

Graph B

Explanation:

-3y + 2x = b (I am not sure if this is correct) which equals (in y-intercept form) y = .6x - .333.... I would go with graph B because that is the closest to this equation. Hope This Helps:)

I think it's B (the second graph), because that's the only one where y, which represents the location of the ant from the tree, is -3.

Not 100% sure though.
