Answer:
b. y= 4x-34.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the information in the problem to make an equation in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b).
Steepness typically means the slope of the graph, thus m=4.
This means we can automatically cross out "a" and "c", which leaves us with "b" and "d" as possible answers.
Next, I will plug in the given point (8, -2) into "b" and "d".
b. y=4x-34
-2=4(8)-34
-2=32-34
d. y=4x+34
-2=4(8)+34
-2 does not equal 66
Thus, the answer is b. y= 4x-34.
