The steepest slope is -8. A slope of 0 is flat. The bigger the number, the steeper the slope. A slope of infinity is a vertical line.

negative slopes are like this \
The source below describes slope, how it’s calculated and all that.

The answer is -8.
The reason is because in absolute value, -8 is the largest of the four numbers that you provided. The larger in ABSOLUTE VALUE, the steeper the line.
