4x+3y=6
0r
y+=+highlight_green%28-4%2F3%29x+%2B+highlight%283%29 where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.
....
New Line: m = (-4/3) thru P(2,-3)
***Using point-slope form, y+-+y%5B1%5D+=+highlight_green%28m%29%28x+-+x%5B1%5D%29
y + 3 = (-4/3)(x - 2)
y = (-4/3)x + 8/3 - 9/3
y = (-4/3)x - 1/3
0r Standard From:
4x + 3y = -1
