Answer:


y = (2)/(3) x - 3

Explanation:

For the equation to be written in the form of y=mx+b, ensure that the y term is on one side of the equation and bring the rest to the other side. Then divide the whole equation by the coefficient of y, so that the resulting coefficient of y is 1.

2x -3y= 9

-3y= -2x +9 (-2x on both sides)

Dividing both sides by -3:


y = (2)/(3) x - 3

☆ coefficient is the number that comes before a term
