Answer: y=-3x-2

Explanation:

Slope is rise over run. The slope of y=-3x-2 is -3, which is 1 down/up and 3 to the right/left. The slope of y=-6x+1 is -6 which is 1 down/ up and 6 to the right/left. When the graph is going 3 steps to the right/left, it is steeper than when its going 6 steps to the right/left.
