Answer:

y= 0.15x - 1, y = x, y = x + 100, y = 15x + 5.

Explanation:

When the slope of a line is less than 1 (if the slope is a decimal), the slope will not be steep. But when the slope is more than 1, the slope will be steeper than the average.

According to that rule, the steepest will be y = 15x + 5.

The next steepest equations will be y = x and y = x + 100 (they are both at the same degree of steepness; the intercept does not impact the steepness of the line).

The least steepest will bey = 0.15x - 1.

So, the order, from least steep to most steep, will be y= 0.15x - 1, y = x, y = x + 100, y = 15x + 5.

Hope this helps!
