Answer:

The equation is y=mx+b in this case the b represents the y int and does not aid in detemining steepness. To determine the steepest, the value of m (or the slope) rise/run must be either the most positive number or the most positive negative. in this case you have 2/1 , 7/1. 5/1.

So y==7x+3 has the steepest (greatest value)  slope

Step-by-step explanation:

abidemiokin

The equation has the greatest slope which is 7, hence the equation of the line y = 7x + 3 is the steepest

The formula for finding the equation of a line is expressed as y = mx + b

m is the slope of the line

b is the y-intercept

The line that will be the steepest must have the largest slope.

Looking at the equation y = 7x +3

Get the slope by comparing to have;

mx = 7x

m = 7

Since the equation has the greatest slope which is 7, hence the equation of the line y = 7x + 3 is the steepest
