Answer:

[tex]y = \frac{1}{5} x + 10[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The steepness refers to great or small the slope is irrespective of the sign.

The given line is

[tex]y = \frac{1}{2}x - 5[/tex]

To find the steepness you must solve for the absolute value of the slope.

[tex] |m| = | \frac{1}{2} | = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5 [/tex]

Therefore any line with the absolute value of slope less than 0.5 has is less steep.

An example is

[tex]y = \frac{1}{5}x + 10[/tex]

The steepness is

[tex] | \frac{1}{5} | = 0.2[/tex]
