Question 905661: Write the equations in slope-intercept form AND standard form for each line.
e) through (2, 1) & parallel to y + 2/3x + 5/8y
work I have done:
y - y1 = m (x - x1)
y - 1 = 2/3 (x - 2)
y -1 = 2/3x - 4/3
+1 +1
_________________
y = 2/3x - 1/3
** I need help with putting it into standard form. I was absent for the lesson and I'm confused with the notes.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Standard Form is Ax%2BBy=C;
but your given equation is not written clearly. One of the plus signs needs to be an equality sign. You then must put your given equation into either standard form or slope-intercept form using appropriate algebraic steps.

If you still need help, straighten your given equation and then someone can work with it and give you more specific help.
