Determine which line is steeper by finding out which has a greater rise over run. I trust you know what rise over run is. You can determine which has a greater rise over run by dividing the rise by the run, and then whichever line has the largest decimal is the steepest.

To determine which line is steeper in a graph, you can calculate the slope of each line. The slope is the ratio of the vertical change (rise) to the horizontal change (run) between two points on the line. The line with the greater slope is steeper. You can also visually compare the steepness by observing the angle each line makes with the x-axis - the line with the greater angle is steeper.
The slope will tell you how much change of Y to X >.
-- Any number less than -5 is a steeper line sloping down. -- Any number greater than +5 is a steeper line sloping up.
For a positive number, as the slope(y=mx+b where m is the slope) gets greater in value, the line gets steeper when plotted on a graph. For a negative number, as the slope(y=mx+b where m is the slope) gets greater in value, the line gets less steep when plotted on a graph.
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 )
A line on a graph with zero slope is a horizontalline.' Y ' is the same number at every point on the line.
