Which of these are less steep? y=5x+6 y=5x-6 y=x-3 y=x+3 I think it is one of the last two, but I do not know

  "steepness" is measured by the absolute value of the slope, m, used in the standard linear equation y=mx+c The greater the value of m, the "steeper" is the curve. If you transform/interpret equations to the above form and compare the values of m in each case, you will find which line is steepest.
