Answer is y=2/3x-2/3
I’m assuming you wish to solve this point slope problem by using algebra.
For this problem you start with 2/3(x-4). You get y+2=2/3x-8/3. Then you move 2 to the other side by subtracting 2. Y=2/3x- 8/3 -2. Y=2/3x-2/3. Is the final answer. Hope this helps.

Answer:

y + 2=
(2)/(3)x - 2
(2)/(3)

Explanation:

Adding 2 to y is equivalent to
(2)/(3)(x-4). To simplify, we can do

y + 2= (
(2)/(3))x - (
(2)/(3))4

(2/3 × x=
(2)/(3)x) - (
(2)/(3) × 4= 2
(2)/(3))

y + 2=
(2)/(3)x - 2
(2)/(3)
