Its steepness is the absolute value of its slope.
In general, the steepness of a slope is determined by its absolute value, not the sign. A negative slope indicates a downward trend, while a positive slope indicates an upward trend. If both slopes have the same absolute value, they are equally steep, but a negative slope will visually appear to descend, while a positive slope will ascend. Thus, a steeper slope can be negative or positive, depending on its absolute value.

Demand curves almost always have negative slopes. The Y value being price and the X value being quantity. The higher the price, the more negative the slope. There are very rare conditions where a demand curve could have a positive slope, but its not normally used in business classes.
When the slope of a line reaches zero it then will be parallel to the x or y axes depending if its a positive or a negative slope.

Its steepness is the absolute value of its slope.

Not necessary because the line can have no slope at all and be as long as you want it to be.

the line goes down from left to right as the absolute value of the negative slope get bigger, the graph of the line gets steeper as the absolute value of the negative slope gets smaller, the graph of the line gets less steep ( apex )
It gets longer Apex :)

slope of the graph ... actually the absolute value of the slope, actual slope, positive or negative, would indicate direction, so the slope would be velocity.
Absolute demand is demand without the ability to pay.
