A straight line makes intercepts of -3 and 2 on the x- and y- axes respectively. Find the equation of the line.

A.

2x + 3y + 6 = 0

B.

3x - 2y - 6 = 0

C.

-3x + 2y - 6 = 0

D.

-2x + 3y - 6 =0

Correct answer is D

Equation of a straight line : y = mx + b

where m = the slope of the line

b = y- intercept

Given the two points (-3, 0) and (0, 2).

m=200(3)=23

y=23x+23y=2x+6

2x+3y6=0
