A linear function has a slope of negative 7 ninths and a y -intercept of 3 How does this function compare to the linear function that is represented by the equation y plus 11 is equal to negative 7 ninths times open paren x minus 18 close paren ?

The first function has slope −7/9 and y-intercept 3. In the given equation, setting x = 0 gives y + 11 = (−7/9)(−18) = 14, so y = 3; its slope is also −7/9. Therefore, it has the same slope and the same y-intercept, which is choice D.
