Answer:

Option C. y=-(2/3)x+2

Explanation:

we know that

The x-intercept is the value of x when the value of y is equal to zero

(3,0)

The y-intercept is the value of y when the value of x is equal to zero

(0,2)

step 1

Find the slope

m=(2-0)/(0-3)=-2/3

step 2

Find the equation of the line into slope intercept form

The equation of the line is equal to

y=mx+b

we have

m=-2/3

b=2 ------> the y-intercept

substitute

y=-(2/3)x+2
