    The correct answer is: B.

    We could use a graphing calculator to solve this easily, but let's just solve it by looking at the equation.

    We'll need to turn this standard form equation into a slope-intercept form equation to be able to easily solve it.

    Isolate y.

    2x - 3y = 7

    Add 3y to both sides.

    2x = 3y + 7

    Subtract 7 from both sides.

    3y = 2x - 7

    Divide both sides by 3.

    y = 2/3x - 7/3

    Now, we can plug each x value in the answer choices into x to find the corresponding y value.

    y = 2/3 (7) - 7/3 = 2.34

    As this y value does not match, A is not the answer.

    y = 2/3 (-4) - 7/3 = - 5

    This y value does match, so B is the correct answer.

    y = 2/3 (-9) - 7/3 = - 8.34

    This y value doesn't match either, so C is not the answer.

    y = 2/3 (9) - 7/3 = 3.67

    This y value doesn't match either, so D is not the answer.
