Answer:

  (a) The function that is represented by the equation y=-10x+6 has a steeper slope and a greater y-intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

If we take the "steepness" of the slope to be the absolute value of the slope, then the line y=-10x +6 has a slope with a steepness of 10.

The line y -36 - 8(x -4) has a slope with a steepness of 8, so the first line is steeper.

The line y=-10x+6 has a y-intercept of 6. The line y-36 =8(x -4) has a y-intercept of 4, so the first line has a higher y-intercept.

The appropriate description of the two lines is ...
