The graph shown models the relationship between the number of items produced, , and the time in minutes, , for a certain manufacturing process.

If a new, more efficient process is implemented that produces items at a faster constant rate than the process shown in the graph, which of the following statements must be true about the graph representing the new process's production?
The new graph will be less steep.
The new graph will have a greater -intercept.
The new graph will be steeper.
The new graph will pass through the point .
