if you know the slope of two epuations, (if the equations are in slope intercept form (y=mx+b, y is the dependent variable, x is the independent variable, m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept) the line represented by the line with the larger slope (|m|) has the steeper slope. If the lines have the same m, the slopes are either equal or negative. If the slope of either line is undefined, it is steeper than any slope other than one that is undefined, in wich the slopes are equal

Steepest line possible dealing with slope is up to, but not including infinity.
If it is in a y=mx+b format. Also, if there is a slope and a constant in the equation.
If the equation is x+4 the slope is 1. If the equation is 4x than the slope is 4.
The equation of a line with an undefined slope is x = a.
To identify the slope in a linear equation, rearrange the equation into the form y = mx + b. The term m is the slope.
