Answer:

C

Explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

calculate m using the slope formula

m =
(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 6) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, 0) ← 2 points on the line

m =
(0-6)/(4-0) =
(-6)/(4) = -
(3)/(2) , then

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

the line crosses the y- axis at (0, 6 ) ⇒ c = 6

y = -
(3)/(2) x + 6 ← equation in slope- intercept form

multiply through by 2 to clear the fraction

2y = - 3x + 12 ( add 3x to both sides )

3x + 2y = 12 ← equation in standard form
