The line less steep than y = 3x + 8 is the line that has a smaller slope. The slope can be determined by the coefficient of x in the equation.
The slope of y = 3x + 8 is 3.
Among the given options, the line with a smaller slope than 3 is:
A. y = -3x + 6 (slope is -3)
B. y = 2x + 7 (slope is 2)
C. y = 5x + 8 (slope is 5)
D. y = 3x + 5 (slope is 3)
Therefore, the line less steep than y = 3x + 8 is y = -3x + 6. Answer: A.
