Answer:

The first graph

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]y = -(2)^x - 1[/tex]

Required

The graph

Set the exponent part to get the minimum/maximum of the graph

So, we have:

[tex]y = 0 - 1[/tex]

[tex]y = - 1[/tex]

The above implies that the curve passes through the y-axis at [tex]y = - 1[/tex].

By comparing the two graphs, we can conclude that the first represents [tex]y = -(2)^x - 1[/tex] because it passes through [tex]y = - 1[/tex]
