Let's form the difference of the two expressions and see what we can learn.

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

Since y > x, this is positive, so 2y -x is greater than 2x -y.

The point-slope form:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

$m$ - slope

$(x_1,\ y_1)$ - point

We have the point $(3,\ -2)\to x_1=3,\ y_1=-2$ and the slope $m=\dfrac{2}{3}$

Substitute:

$y-(-2)=\dfrac{2}{3}(x-3)\\\\\boxed{y+2=\dfrac{2}{3}(x-3)}$
