You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First, let +x+=+0+
+3%2A0+-+2y+=+-8+
+-2y+=+-8+
+y+=+4+
---------
Next, let +y+=+0+
+3x+-+2%2A0+=+-8+
+3x+=+-8+
+x+=+-%288%2F3%29+
---------
Now a good one to try is +x+=+-2+
+3%2A%28-2%29+-+2y+=+-8+
+-6+-+2y+=+-8+
+-2y+=+-2+
+y+=+1+
---------
You have the 3 points:
(0,4), (-(8/3), 0), and (-2,1)
---------
Here's a plot:
+graph%28+400%2C+400%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+%283%2F2%29%2Ax+%2B+4%29+
