Answer:

Option A)
6x + 2y = -9

Explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

x-intercept =
((-3)/(2),0)

y-intercept =
(0,(-9)/(2))

x-intercept is the value when y = 0 and the curve passes through the x-axis and y-intercept is the value when x = 0 and the curve passes through the y-axis.

Option A)


6x + 2y = -9\\\text{Putting y = 0}\\6x = -9\\x = \displaystyle(-9)/(6) = (-3)/(2)\\\Rightarrow \text{x-intercept} = (-(3)/(2),0)\\\text{Putting x = 0}\\2y = -9\\y = \displaystyle(-9)/(2)\\\Rightarrow \text{y-intercept} = (0,-(9)/(2))

Hece, option A) is the correct required line.
