Answer:
Option b. -2x + 3y - 6 = 0
Explanation:
Let's look for a linear equation of the form y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x = 0).
Calculate the slope first. Slope is the Rise/Run of any two points on a straight line. Using the given points, (0,2) and (3,4) we find:
Rise = 4 - 2 = 2
Run = 3 - 0 = 3
Slope, m, Rise/Run = (2/3)
The equation becomes y = (2/3)x + b
To find b, enter either of the two given points.
y = (2/3)x + b
2 = (2/3)(0) + b : for point (0,2)
b = 2
The equation becomes: y = (2/3)x + 2
Reformat this to match the format of the answer options.
y = (2/3)x + 2
3y = 2x + 6 [Multiplied by 3]
3y - 2x - 6 = 0
-2x + 3y - 6 = 0 [rearrange]
This matches option b.
