Question 360437: Find the equation of the line given the slope and points.
y =
m = 2/3 (8, -2)
I have tried working this, but always get confused when there are fractions included.
This is what I have so far:
y - ( -2) = 2/3(x-8)
Ok. Now what happens with the y + 2 = 2/3(x -8 )
is it 2y.
Please helpe try to figure this one.!!!
Thank you for your continued assistance!

Find the equation of the line given the slope and points.
y =
m = 2/3 (8, -2)
y - ( -2) = 2/3(x-8)
y+2= 2/3* (x-8)
3(y+2)=2(x-8)
3y+6=2x-16
3y=2x-16-6
3y=2x-22
y=2x/3-(22/3)
