Answer: Choice A)
y = -4x+1
=======================================
Explanation:
The general format of a linear equation can be written as y = mx+b
m = slope
b = y intercept
The steepest slope is the value of m that is furthest away from zero. If m > 0, then we're looking for the largest value of m or value to the right of 0. If m < 0, then we're trying to get as left as possible.
Of the choices we have, choice A has the m value furthest from 0. If you want, you can make each slope positive and then compare to see which slope is largest.
