First find the slope of your 2 points which is (y2- y1) / (x2-x1). Afterwards solve for y in 10x+3y=6 (so y is isolated) then find in your second equation and compare it

$\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\
R&(-1\quad ,&3)\quad S&(2\quad ,&-7)
\end{array}
\\quad \

slope = m= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies \cfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$
