-5x + 3y = 24

Explanation:

ax + by = c is the standard form of a linear equation.

y + 2 = (5/3)(x + 6)

3(y + 2) = 5( x + 6) color (white)(aaa) cross multiplying;

3y + 6 = 5x + 30 color (white)(aaa) removing braces;

#-5x + 3y = 24 color (white)(aaa) bringing variables to LHS & numerals to RHS.
