Answer:

B

Explanation:

What is a linear equation?

A linear equation is an algebraic equation of the form y=mx+b. involving only a constant and a first-order (linear) term, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Given we can see that the line intersects with the Y-Intercept at (0,3), we can use process of elimination and erase answer choices A and D.

Now we are left with answr choices B and C, lets see where the line intersects with the X axis.

Helpful Tip:

If the line intersects with the X-Axis in between whole numbers, like for example this line intersects between 1 and 2, the slope will always be a fraction, which in this case the only fraction that we have left in answer choice B, which leads us to our answer.
