A straight line 2x+3y=6, passes through the point (-1,2)....

A straight line 2x+3y=6, passes through the point (-1,2). Find the equation of the line.

A.

2x-3y=2

B.

2x-3y=-2

C.

2x+3y=-4

D.

2x+3y=4

Correct answer is D

2x+3y=63y=62x

y=632x3 

Parallel lines have the same gradient

Gradient of the line = \frac{-2}{3}

Line passes through (-1,2)

Equation: \frac{y-2}{x-(-1)} = \frac{y-2}{x+1} = \frac{-2}{3}

3y-6 = -2x-2 \implies 3y+2x = -2+6 =4
