Answer with explanation:

It is given that , analyzing three linear functions, Larae noticed that they all intersected at the point (9,7).

y=m x+k, represents line having ,slope m and y intercept =k.

Suppose three lines given here intersect at point (9,7), which are

1. 7 x -9 y=0

Y intercept of this line=0

Slope
=(7)/(9)

2. x +y=16

Y intercept =16

Slope = -1

3. x-y=2

Y intercept = -2

Slope =1

→→Among the three lines chosen,Slope of line three is largest ,equal to 1,but it has lowest Y intercept.

The Conclusion that can be drawn about the linear function with the largest slope,is

Option D:→ It has the lowest y-intercept .
