.A line has the equation y=-2x/3 and passes through the point (2, -8) write the equation for the line in standard form.
.A line has the equation y=-2x/3 and passes through the point (2, -8) <==== well, this cannot be true !
y = -2/3x + b
-8 = -2/3 (2) + b shows b = -20/3
y = -2/3 x -20/3
multiply by three to get rid of the fractions
3y = -2x - 20
2x+3y = -20
