Work each problem. In the summary box following Example 2 , we give the equations $$ y=\frac{3}{2} x-6 \quad \text { and } \quad y+3=\frac{3}{2}(x-2) $$ as examples of equations in slope-intercept form and point-slope form, respectively. Write each of these equations in standard form. What do you notice?
