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
