From the drawing, we can gather this information:

Slope is negative and less than 1.
Y-intercept is positive.

Only option A satisfies the conditions.

Hello! Since slope = change in y-axis/ change in x-axis, and here change in y-axis < change in x-axis, the slope must be less than one. Hope it helps!
