Answer:

Point-slope equation for the line is


y-2= -\frac {3}{2} (x -0)

Explanation:

Equation of straight line in slope intercept form is given as


y-y_1=m(x-x_1) ---------- (1)

Here

Slope
m=-(3)/(2)

Any Passing Point
(x_1, y_1) = (0, 2)

Substituting values in equation (1)


y-2= -\frac {3}{2} (x -0)
