From
y+2=(5/3)(x+6)
multiply both sides by 3 and get
3y + 6 = 5(x+6)
Now distribute and get
3y + 6 = 5x + 30
Rearrange terms and get
-24 = 5x - 3y or
5x - 3y = -24

the standard form for linear equations:
Ax+%2B+By+=+C

y%2B2=%285%2F3%29%28x%2B6%29
y%2B2=%285%2F3%29x%2B%285%2Fcross%283%291%29cross%286%292
y%2B2=%285%2F3%29x%2B5%2A2
y-y%2B2=%285%2F3%29x-y%2B10
2=%285%2F3%29x-y%2B10
2-10=%285%2F3%29x-y%2B10-10 leave x here to have a positive coefficient
-8=%285%2F3%29x-y
now, switch the sides
%285%2F3%29x-y=-8=>the standard form
