First, standard form is #ax+by+c=0#
In this question, we can expend the formula and rearrange it.

You can try it first, and the steps are as follow:

Step 1: Expend it
#2y+3=-1/3x+2/3#

As there are fraction in the formula and it doesn't look good, we can eliminate it by multiplyng 3.

Step 2: Multiply by 3
#6y+9=-1x+2#

Step 3: Rearrange the terms
#x+6y+7=0#

And we can get the answer! :)
