Answer:

A. y = x + 2

Explanation:

The way we can figure this out is by graphing all of these equations either by hand, (or if you want to make it easier) on a graphing calculator. The question asks for which equation has the LEAST steep graph.

What does steep mean?

By definition, the word steep, means a sharp slope or angle. You know how it get's hard to climb up a hill when the slope is super upwards? That's thanks to steepness!

After graphing these 4 equations, we find that answer choice A has the least steep graph.
