So, the slope is -3x, the coefficient is a negative number so the line must be as x decreases, y increases and as x increases, y decreases. In this case, the first graph and the last graph represent the negative slope. However, the function has an y-intercept of -2.

Final answer: the third graph

Hope this helps!
