-2x + 3y = - 24

Step-by-step explanation:

"Standard form" in this case looks like Ax + By = C.

Starting with y = (2/3) x-8, we multiply both sides by 3 so as to remove the fraction (2/3):

3y = 2x - 24

Next, we subtract 2x from both sides, obtaining:

-2x + 3y = - 24, which is in the form Ax + By = C.
