If two lines are parallel, then they have the SAME SLOPE.
The given line passes through the points (0, 2) and (-3, 0)
Applying the slope formula, we get: Slope = (2 - 0)/(0 - -3)
= 2/3
Now take each equation of each line (in the answer choices) and rewrite it in slope y-intercept form: y = mx + b (where m = slope and b = y-intercept)
The rewritten equation that has m = 2/3, will be the correct answer....
A. 3y - 2x = 0...rewrite as y =(2/3)x + 0
DONE!
This line has a slope of 2/3, so it must be parallel with the given line.

Forget conventional ways of solving math questions. In PS, IVY approach is the easiest and quickest way to find the answer.
The graph of which of the following equations is a straight line that is parallel to line l in the figure above?
(A) 3y − 2x = 0
(B) 3y + 2x = 0
(C) 3y + 2x = 6
(D) 2y − 3x = 6
(E) 2y + 3x = −6
The graph shows that the line passes (-3,0) and (0,2). So the difference of x is 3(=0-(-3)), the difference of y is 2(=2-0).
The gradient of the line is, therefore, 2/3.
A parallel line should have the same gradient. Among the chioces only (A) has the gradient 2/3 (3y-2x=0 --> 3y=2x --> y= (2/3) x).
So the answer is (A).
