Step-by-step explanation:

The linear function that has the steepest slope is,

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form: The general formula is, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Option A:

According to slope intercept form:

Slope is -8

Similarly, for

Option B :

Slope is -2

Option C:

Slope is 7

Option D :

Slope is 6

Steepest slope defined as that is closest to being vertical.

This could be a line that is positive or negative slope respectively.
