Answer:

A. It would be steeper

Step-by-step explanation:

In the linear equation y = mx + b, m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

In this problem, the function is changed to have a larger slope of 5, compared to the original slope of 3. But, the y intercept stays the same.

Since the y intercept remained the same, it will not be shifted in any direction.

But, with a larger slope, the graph will be steeper.

So, the correct answer is A. It would be steeper
