Which of the following equations is steeper?
y=-2x+1
y=-5/4x+7
y=x-1
y=5x-1

Option 4: y = 5x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope, or rate of change, represents the ratio of the vertical change (in y) to the horizontal change (in x) of points along the line. Thus, the slope is a means of measuring the steepness of a given line.

Generally speaking, slopes with higher values tend to have steeper lines.

In comparing the slopes of the given options:

Option 1: slope = -2

Option 2: or 1.25

Option 3: slope = 1

Option 4: slope = 5

Option 4 has the highest slope of 5. Therefore, the graph of y = 5x - 1 has the steepest line.  

Attached is the graphed equations to prove that the graph of the equation in Option 4 has the steepest line.
