For what values of $a$ and $b$ are the intercepts cut off on the coordinate axes by the line $ax + by + 8 = 0$ equal in length but opposite in sign to those cut off by the line $2x - 3y + 6 = 0$ on the axes?
- A$a = \frac{8}{3}, b = -4$
- B$a = -\frac{8}{3}, b = -4$
- C$a = \frac{8}{3}, b = 4$
- D$a = -\frac{8}{3}, b = 4$
