We know that Standard form of line is :

Ax+By=C

And, we have:    y=2/3x+1/3

Multiplying both side by 3, we get

3y = (2×3/3)x + 1×3/3

3y =2x + 1

Subtracting both sides by 3y, we get

3y - 3y = 2x - 3y + 1

0 = 2x - 3y + 1

Transposing 1 to the other side, we get

2x - 3y = -1

 

Therefore, the standard form of  y=2/3x+1/ 3 is 2x - 3y = -1
