Yes, slope k is less than slope l

Step-by-step explanation:

Both of them intersect on positive y-axis.

Line k intersect on positive x-axis, making it a negative slope, while line l intersect on negative x-axis making it positive slope.

Since positive is bigger than negative, that makes line l bigger than line k
