(B) The equation of the parabola is $y^2 = 6x$. Comparing this with $y^2 = 4ax$,we get $4a = 6$,so $a = \frac{3}{2}$.The vertex of the parabola is $(0, 0)$.The coordinates of the endpoints of the latus rectum are $(a, 2a)$ and $(a, -2a)$.The negative end of the latus rectum is $(a, -2a) = (\frac{3}{2}, -2 	imes \frac{3}{2}) = (\frac{3}{2}, -3)$.The equation of the line passing through the vertex $(0, 0)$ and the point $(\frac{3}{2}, -3)$ is given by $y - 0 = \frac{-3 - 0}{3/2 - 0}(x - 0)$.$y = \frac{-3}{3/2}x = -2x$.Therefore,$y + 2x = 0$.

In the parabola $y^2 = 6x$,the equation of the chord passing through the vertex and the negative end of the latus rectum is
