The equation of a line in the slope intercept form is expressed as

y = mx + c

Where

m represents slope

c represents y intercept.

Given that the slope of the line is - 3/2, we would dertermine the y intercept, c by substituting m = - 3/2, x = - 10 and y = 6 into the slope intercept equation. It becomes

6 = - 3/2 * - 10 + c

6 = 15 + c

c = 6 - 15

c = - 9

Substituting these values into the slope intercept equation, the equation of the line becomes

y = - 3x/2 - 9
