The slope of f(x) is 4, since the equation y = 4x+2 has slope m = 4. Compare this to y = mx+b.
The slope of g(x) is 5. Note how if we started at (0,-2) on the red line and moved up 5 and to the right 1, we arrive at (1,3) which is another point on the red line. You could use the slope formula
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
to get the same result.
Since the slope of f(x) is 4 and the slope of g(x) is 5, we see that g(x) has a larger slope. The g(x) line is steeper compared to f(x).
