Given:

The equation above is written in slope intercept form:

y = mx + b

To rewrite in standard form, use the standard form of linear equations below:

Ax + By = C

Thus, we have:

Multiply through by 9 to eliminate the fraction:

$\begin{gathered} 9y=(-(2)/(9)x\ast9)+(3\ast9) \\ \\ 9y=-2x+27 \end{gathered}$

Add 2x to both sides:

$\begin{gathered} 2x\text{ + 9y = -2x + 2x + 27} \\ \\ 2x\text{ + 9y = 27} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the equation in standard form is:

2x + 9y = 27

ANSWER:

D. 2x + 9y = 27
