Which linear equation represents a line that has a slope of 2/3?

It's the one that when you isolate y, you will have 2/3 by the x-variable. If there are x and y variables together on one side, keep an eye out for the ones that have multiples of 3 as part of the y coefficient and multiples of 2 as the x coefficient.

If a line has a slope of 2/3, then the slope intercept form equation of that line will be:
 
y = 2/3 x + b  where b is the y-intercept.
 
So technically, there are infinitely many answers to your question covering each possible value of b.  For example:
 
y = 2/3 x + 5
 
y = 2/3 x - 8
 
y = 2/3 x  + 1.2
