Answer:

y = 5x + 2

Explanation:

in order to find if a line is steeper, you need to look at the slope

the greater the slope, the steeper the line will be

y = 2x + 4

y = -4x - 1

y = 1/2x + 10

y = 5x + 2

out of all of these options, y = 5x + 2 has the largest slope. this means that it is the steepest one.
