Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Your spreadsheet or graphing calculator can do this for you.
__
If you want to do it by hand, pick a few values for x, compute the corresponding values of f(x), plot those points, and draw a smooth curve through them. You know the horizontal asymptote is y=0, and the whole graph is in the 3rd and 4th quadrants, since the exponential function has been reflected over the x-axis by the leading minus sign.
Point-slope form is y - y1 = m(x - x1). We just need to plug in our stuff. This gives us y - 9 = 4(x - 3). I am not sure if you need to simplify, but if you do, y - 9 = 4x - 12.
The answer is 21.
