First, isolate y:
2x - 3y = 6
-3y = -2x + 6
3y = 2x - 6
y = 2/3x - 2
That means that the line passes through the point (0, -2) and has a positive slope of 2/3. So it would be choice A because the line in choice A passes through the point (1, -2) and has a positive slope. Choice D also passes through the point (0, -2) but has a negative slope so it cannot be the correct answer.
Choice A is correct.
