Question

Ignoring the negative signs, look at the number infront of the x in each equation, which one is the largest?

anonymous · Answer

This is because the number infront of x in this form is the slope, which will be the same steepness whether it's negative or not.

Draw it out|dw:1405958703815:dw| so, which looks the steepest, its not the best drawing i apologize

Like @Venny said, look for the biggest number in front of the x because that determines how much your going up or down based on the negative sign which will increase steepness.
