When analyzing three linear functions, Bill noticed that they all intersected at the point (10, 10). What conclusion can Bill come to about the linear function with the largest slope?

it has the lowest y intercept 
it has the middle y intercept
bill cannot conclude anything
it has the highest y intercept

if the slope largest is the positive then has the lowest y intercept and bill must know that the for three lineal function can be intercepted, two must have the same value of slope , one positive and other negative, ant the third lineal its slope must be zero

Answer:

it has the lowest y intercept

Explanation:

Since all three functions pass through the same point, as the slopes increase, the y-intercepts will decrease.

Imagine holding three pieces of wire in one place. As the slopes increase, the line will be steeper; to turn this line to make it steeper makes it go through the y-axis at a lower point. Thus the one with the largest slope will have the smallest y-intercept.
