To match the graph:

The function is an exponential function that increases and approaches 0.

It intersects the y-axis at (0, -1).

 

Let's evaluate the options:

A. :

This is an exponential decay function with base . As x increases,   approaches 0, and the negative sign makes the function increase towards 0 from below.

It intersects the y-axis at (0, -1) because . This fits all the given conditions.

 

B.
