Which graph represents exponential decay? On a coordinate plane, a straight line has a negative slope. On a coordinate plane, a
graph starts at (negative 2, 0) and curves up and to the right into quadrant 1. On a coordinate plane, a graph approaches y = 0 in quadrant 1 and curves up into quadrant 2. On a coordinate plane, a graph approaches y = 0 in quadrant 2 and curves up into quadrant 1.

Answer:
The correct option is (C).
Step-by-step explanation:
The exponential function representing decay is as follows:
Here,
<em>y</em> = final value
<em>y</em>₀ = initial value
<em>k</em> = growth rate
<em>t</em> = time passed
The graph represents exponential decay is:
"On a coordinate plane, a graph approaches y = 0 in quadrant 1 and curves up into quadrant 2."
Thus, the correct option is (C).
