#-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.
