Answer:

Explanation:

in y = mx + b form, the slope is in the m position

y = -6x + 5......slope here is -6

y = -4x + 5....slope here is -4

so the slope changed from -6 to -4

** the slope with the highest absolute value is steepest.....lol...is steepest even a word

so the slope of the new graph would become less steep <==
