The function is a straight line passing through the points (2,9) and (8,1). By calculating the slope, we get:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x) = (1-9)/(8-2) = -1

Using the point-slope form of a line, we get the equation of the line as:

y - 9 = -1(x - 2)

Simplifying, we get:

y = -x + 11

This is the equation of a straight line with a negative slope, and it passes through the given points. The graph of this function is a line that starts at y = 11 when x = 0, and slopes downward towards the right. The correct graph is shown in choice D.
