You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y+4=2/3(x-2) First off, you should distribute the 2/3 through the set
y+4=(2/3)(x)-(2/3)(2) Simplify
y+4=2/3x-4/3 Next, subtract 4 from both sides. This will get rid of your +4
y+4(-4)=2/3x-4/3(-4) Simplify
y=2/3x-16/3
This could also be written as:
y-2/3x-5 1/3
