The graph shows us that the slope of f(x) is -2. Now we gotta find the slope of g(x) to compare it to that of f(x). The equation of g(x) is in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept), so the slope is given to us for that one as well: it's -6. A line with a slope of -6 will be steeper than a line with a slope of -3, therefore the answer is B - the slope of f(x) is less than the slope of g(x).
Hope this helps.
