Answer: Choice B) y = (-2/3)x + 6

===================================================

Work Shown:

2x+3y = 18

3y = 18-2x ..... subtract 2x from both sides

3y = -2x+18

y = (-2x+18)/3 .... divide both sides by 3

y = (-2x)/3 + 18/3

y = (-2/3)x + 6

-----------

As a quick shortcut, anything in the form Ax+By = C will convert to y = (-A/B)x+(C/B) when you solve for y.

The slope is -A/B and the y intercept is C/B
