Ok, let's solve this step by step.

The given equation is 5x - 6y = 9.

In the given options, the equations are in the form of y = mx + c which is a straight line equation. Here, m is the slope of the line and c is the y-intercept.

To compare the given equation with the options, we have to rearrange our equation into the form of y = mx + c.

First, we isolate 6y to one side of the equation:
5x - 9 = 6y.

Next, we divide throughout by 6 to obtain:
y = (5/6)x - 9/6

Simplifying the second part, 9/6 is 1.5, so :
y = (5/6)x - 3/2.

Clearly, none of the options match the re-arranged equation form. So none of the options are equivalent to the given equation 5x - 6y = 9.

So, the final answer is that none of the options are equivalent to the initial condition.
