Solution

The correct option is A 2x - 3y = 6
The x-intercept is 3 and the y-intercept is -2.

Thus, the line passes through the points A (3, 0) and B (0, -2)

Slope of the line = $\frac{- 2 - 0}{0 - 3} = \frac{2}{3}$

The equation of the line using slope - intercept form is
y = $\frac{2}{3}$ x - 2
y = $\frac{2 x - 6}{3}$
3y = 2x - 6
2x - 3y = 6
