Answer:

y=-3/2x-1

Explanation:

i'm assuming that you're supposed to find the equation of the line

since we're given the slope of the line:

y=-3/2x+b (b represents the unknown y-intercept)

to find the y-intercept, substitute in -6 for x and 8 for y since the line passes through the point (-6,8), then solve:

y=-3/2x+b

8=-3/2(-6)+b

8=9+b

b=-1

so, the equation of the line is:

y=-3/2x-1
