Answer: C. Y= -10x -4.

Explanation:

Steeper line : is a line which is closed to y-axis, or closed vertically.

Since, the standard form of a line is,

y = mx + c

Where m is the slope,

If the absolute value of the slope ( that is, |m| ) is maximum then it is called it has the steepest graph.

For, y=-2x+6,

The absolute value of slope = 2,

For, y =8x-1,

The absolute value of slope = 8,

For, y=-10x-4,

The absolute value of slope = 10,

For, Y=7x+3,

The absolute value of slope = 7,

Since, 2< 7 < 8 < 10

Hence, the line y = -10 x - 4 is closest to y-axis,

Line y = -10 x - 4 has the steepest graph.
