#y = -15/11x - 6#

We can find this equation using the slope-intercept formula.

This formula states:

#color(red)(y = mx + b)#

Where #m# is the slope and #b# is the #y# intercept or #(0, b)#

In this problem we are provided the slope m (#-15/11#) and the y-intercept (0, -6). Substituting this information gives the equation:

#y = -15/11x - 6#
