Answer:

Option C is correct.

Equation of a line [tex]y=\frac{-2}{3}x+6[/tex] passing through (0,6) and (9,0).

Explanation:

Given the two points (0, 6) and (9 ,0).

To find the equation for the given two points [tex](x_{1},y_{1})[/tex] and [tex](x_{2},y_{2})[/tex] is,

[tex]y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})[/tex]; where m is the slope and is given by:

[tex]m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}[/tex]

First find the slope m:

[tex]m=\frac{0-6}{9-0} =\frac{-6}{9} =\frac{-2}{3}[/tex]

Substitute this value in equation of line:

[tex]y-6=\frac{-2}{3} (x-0)[/tex] or

[tex]y-6=\frac{-2}{3} x[/tex]

⇒ [tex]y=\frac{-2}{3}x+6[/tex]

Therefore, the equation for the given point is:  [tex]y=\frac{-2}{3}x+6[/tex]
