Hello!

A slope intercept form of a line is y = mx + b

m is the slope
b is the y-intercept

since everything is the same but the slopes we know that the answer is either steeper or not as steep

The slope decreases which means the line is not as steep

The answer is C) It would be less steep

Hope this helps!
