Explanation:

Step1: Identify horizontal asymptote

The graph approaches the horizontal line $y=-5$ as $x$ increases, so this is the asymptote.

Step2: Confirm growth/decay

The function decreases as $x$ increases, so it is decay.

Step3: Verify y-intercept

The graph crosses the y-axis at $(0,-2)$, so the y-intercept is $-2$.

Answer:

y-int: $-2$
Asymptote: $y=-5$
Growth or Decay? Decay
