ax+by+ c = 0 can be written as y=(-a/b)x -(c/b)

equation for a line is y = mx +c where m is the slope and c is the constant

Thus implying slope = m = 2/3 = -a/b

According to statement 1, if a = 4
2/3 = -4/b => b = -6

statement 2 is in INSUFF because it does not give us anything to work with to get a or b.

So IMO A

Whats the OA?

(1) a = 4
(2) c = −6

this is DS problem, posted in wrong section
Target 700 and HAAS

Why we don't use the information the slope 2/3 = -a/b in the second statement, so we get y= -a/b x - c/b => -a/b = 2/3 and c= -6, so in that case we can slove for y ? I know I'm wrong but why ???
