Correct Answer: A
Rationale

Choice A is correct. It's given that the graphs of the given equations intersect at the point x,y in the xy-plane. It follows that x,y represents a solution to the system consisting of the given equations. The first equation given is x=49. Substituting 49 for x in the second equation given, y=x+9, yields y=49+9, which is equivalent to y=7+9, or y=16. It follows that the graphs of the given equations intersect at the point 49,16. Therefore, the value of y is 16.

Choice B is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.

Choice C is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.

Choice D is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.
