Question 983096: What statement correctly describes the key features of the graph of f(x) = −3(1/3)^x + 1 − 2?
Y-intercept of (0, −3), starts down on the left, gets closer to y = −2 on the right
Y-intercept of (0, −3), starts up on the left, gets closer to y = −2 on the right
Y-intercept of (0, 2), starts down on the left, gets closer to y = −1 on the right
Y-intercept of (0, 2), starts up on the left, gets closer to y = −1 on the right

What statement correctly describes the key features of the graph of
f(x) = −3(1/3)^x + 1 − 2?
Note:: f(0) = -3+1-2 = -4, so all the options listed below are wrong.
