No
Ordered pair
(0, 0)
2x - 3y = 6
2(0)- 3(0) = 6
0 - 0 = 6
This is a false statement

No it is not since 2(0) - 3(0) = 0 [instead of 6]
This is a linear equation and it does in fact have infinitely many elements in its solution set. The elements of the solution set have the form:
( x , (2x-6)/3 )
just pick any number (yes even decimals and fractions) and plug it into this form and you will have a solution to the equation.

No.
0 - 0 is not equal to 6

NO,because if you put 0 instead of x and y the first side becomes 0 which is not equal 6

No, because when you substitute (0,0) in for x and y you get
0=6 so no solution

No. I suggest graphing the equation to fully understand it.
For example, if you put in '0' for 'y', then the equation becomes:
2x-3(0)=6
2x=6
x=3

No...
2x-6=3y
(2x-6)/3=y
so... since it is a linear equation.. solving for x arbitrary gives u
(x,(2x-6)/3))

no b/c when plugging in that point into the formula.. u get
0=6., which is not true
