The steepest graph is gonna have the largest slope....but u have to use the absolute value of the slopes to compare

y = -2x.....slope is -2....| -2 | = 2
y = -1/2x...slope is -1/2....| -1/2 | = 1/2
y = 3/2x....slope is 3/2 (or 1 1/2)...| 1 1/2} = 1 1/2
y = 5/2x...slope is 5/2 (or 2 1/2)...| 2 1/2| = 2 1/2

so the steepest graph is : y = 5/2x
