### Matching Exponential Functions to Graphs

In this exercise, you are provided with a graph and a set of exponential equations. Your task is to match each equation with the correct function on the graph. The graph contains four curves, each labeled with a letter: \( f \), \( g \), \( h \), and \( j \).

#### Graph Explanation:
- The graph is plotted on a coordinate plane with the \( y \)-axis ranging from 0 to 10 and the \( x \)-axis ranging from 0 to 16.
- Each curve on the graph represents an exponential decay function, characterized by the equation \( y = ae^{-bx} \).
- The colors associated with each curve are as follows:
  - \( g \) is the blue curve
  - \( f \) is the green curve
  - \( h \) is the purple curve
  - \( j \) is the red curve

#### Equations to be Matched:
1. \( y = 14e^{-0.75x} \)
2. \( y = 8e^{-0.2x} \)
3. \( y = 8e^{-0.8x} \)
4. \( y = 14e^{-0.1x} \)

#### Steps to Match Equations with Functions:
1. Evaluate the initial values (when \( x = 0 \)) to identify the starting point on the \( y \)-axis for each equation.
2. Analyze the rate of decay (the exponent's coefficient) to match the curve’s steepness.

### Interactive Matching:
Use the matching tools provided below to connect each equation with the corresponding curve label:

- [Equation 1: \( y = 14e^{-0.75x} \)                     ] ⟶ [ f ] [ g ] [ h ] [ j ]
- [Equation 2: \( y = 8e^{-0.2x} \)                      ] ⟶ [ f ] [ g ] [ h ] [ j ]
- [Equation 3: \( y = 8e^{-0.8x} \)                      ] ⟶ [ f ] [ g ] [ h ] [ j ]
- [Equation 4: \( y = 14e^{-0.1x} \)                     ] ⟶ [ f ] [ g ] [ h ] [ j ]

By carefully analyzing the initial points and
