First, simplify the equation given into slope intercept form.

slope intercept form is y = mx + b, where b is the y intercept and m is the slope.

3x - 2y - 5 = 0

I would move the 2y to the other side.

3x - 5 = 2y

Then, since y can't have a coefficient, divide everything by 2;

y = 3/2x - 5/2

So there's your slope intercept form.

Point slope form is:

$y - y_{1} = m( x} - x_{1} )$

Where those with a subscript of 1 are part of the same point.

So you already known one point; -8, 8. I'll just do that as the pair with subscript 1. You know the slope as well from the slope intercept form; 3/2.

You can just plug those in.

y - 8 = 3/2 (x + 8)

Now to change this to general form.

First, distribute 3/2 to x and 8.

y - 8 = 3/2x + 12
-3/2x + y = 20
-3/2x + y - 20 = 0

Since there are no fractions, multiply everything by 2.

-3x + 2y - 40 = 0
