I believe that that is correct because since the velocity has the same negative slope, the acceleration should be a straight line. And in your attempt, the acceleration is negative and just a line, that answer is correct I believe.
 
yup .. has to be correct... MysticDude's reasoning looks right too.

Alright, I guess I know my calculus basics eh? Oh and thanks for the friend request.
 
Yep, it's correct. Thank you for your help guys.
