y=+%281%2F3%29x+-+2 ...........both sides multiply by 3
3y=+3%281%2F3%29x+-+3%2A2
3y=+x+-+6
3y-x+=-6
in Ax+By=C form is -x%2B3y=-6

Rewrite the equation in Ax+By=C form. Use integers for A, B, and C.
y= 1/3x - 2
y+=+%281%2F3%29x+-+2

y+=+x%2F3+-+2

3y = x - 6 ------ Multiplying by LCD, 3

highlight_green%28x+-+3y+=+6%29 ------ Subtracting 3y and adding 6 to both sides
