I keep plotting a graph that doesn't match the multiple choice answers. :P

This is a cubic function. The end behavior of the graph will decrease to the right and increase to the left.

That is correct..and odd degree polynomial with a NEGATIVE leading coefficient will have the left end going up to infinity and the right end going down to negative infinity

Thats right! I forgot that you could just look at the equation without having to plug in a few negative and positive numbers. I'll remember that next time! :) Thank you!
