  1. A \(\frac{2}{3}\)
  2. B \(\frac{3}{2}\)
  3. C \(\frac{-2}{3}\)
  4. D \(\frac{-3}{2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{-3}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\therefore\) From the above figure line passes through \((2,0)\) and \((0,3)\) \(\Rightarrow \text { Slope }=\frac{3-0}{0-2}=\frac{-3}{2} \quad\left[\because \text { Slope }=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\right]\)
