Answer:

The slope of a line perpendicular to the equation is 1/6 or x/6.

This is perpendicular because it is the reciprical of the other equation

Explanation:

y=-6x+4.

the slope intercept form is y=mx+b

m is the slope

m=-6

for the equation to be perpendicular then the slope is the reciprical

Knowing this lets find a line perpendicular to this equation

Equation:

y=1/6x+2/3

or

y=x/6+2/3
