Which equation represents a line with slope 2/3 and y-intercept –6?

A. 2x + 3y = −6
B. 3x − 2y = 6
C. 3x − 2y = 12
D. 2x − 3y = 18

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer would be

D. 2x − 3y = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

The required equation is 2x − 3y = 18, the correct option is D.

What is the standard equation of a line?

The standard equation of a line is given by

y = mx+c

Here m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

The slope can be determined by

m = (y₂ -y₁)/(x₂ -x₁)

The equations are as follows:

A. 2x + 3y = −6

B. 3x − 2y = 6

C. 3x − 2y = 12

D. 2x − 3y = 18

To determine the required equation, they have to be converted to the form y=mx +c

2x +3y = -6

3y = -2x -6

y = -2/3 x - 2

Slope = -2/3

Intercept = -2

3x − 2y = 6

-2y = -3x +6

y =  3/2 x -3

Slope = 3/2

Intercept = -3

3x − 2y = 12

-2y = -3x +12

y = 3/2 x -6

Slope = 3/2

Intercept = -6

2x -3y =18

-3y = -2x +18

y = 2/3 x -6

Slope = 2/3

Intercept = -3

So, the equation that represents a line with slope 2/3 and y-intercept –6 is 2x -3y =18.
