The correct graph of the function is an exponential function graphed on a coordinate plane with a y intercept at (0, one-fifth). It approaches the x axis on the right side of the y-axis and increases rapidly on the left side of the y-axis. The graph passes through the point (negative 1, 0.6). The line passes through left-parenthesis negative 3 comma 5 right-parenthesis left-parenthesis 1 comma zero right-parenthesis left-parenthesis 2 comma zero right-parenthesis left-parenthesis 3 comma zero right-parenthesis left-parenthesis 4 comma zero right-parenthesis left-parenthesis 5 comma zero right-parenthesis left-parenthesis 6 comma zero right-parenthesis left-parenthesis 7 comma zero right-parenthesis left-parenthesis 8 comma zero right-parenthesis left-parenthesis 9 comma zero right-parenthesis left-parenthesis 10 comma zero right-parenthesis.
