passing through (0, 6) Eliminate B and D
........
passing through (0, 6) and (3, 0)
only C works with P(3, 0)
Y= -2X+6
0= -2(3)+6

B.

check the point (,)

...-> true
check the point (,)

...-> true
so, eliminate option

C .

check the point (,)

...->
check the point (,)

...->
so, your answer is option
we can check option too, just to prove it,s not an answer
D.

check the point (,)

...-> true
check the point (,)

...-> true
so, eliminate option
