If you look under the dash in the area above the parking brake pedal, you'll see the mechanism that fits into the gear teeth of the pedal, locking it in the down position when engaged. You'll also see the part of that mechanism where the cable normally attaches. If you depress the pedal slightly, it takes the tension off the mechanism and you can then rotate if off of the gear teeth by pushing/pulling on the part where the cable is normally connected. Then the pedal will release allowing you to slowly let it return to non-engaged position.

How do you release the emergency brake if the cable is broke on a 1992 Chevy s10 it is the one you push with your foot?

It depends which cable is broken. If the main cable is broken under the truck, the brakes should release on their own. If the brakes dont release, the cables are frozen from rust and need to be replaced. If the release cable from the handle to pedal assemdly is broken reach under the dash above the pedal and find the small release arm. Pull the arm toward you [ the rear of vehicle ] and the emergency brake pedal will release.
