Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Perpendicular lines have slopes which are negative reciprocals. When the slopes are multiplied like 3 and -1/3 is -1.

This means the line y = -6x + 7 which has slope -6 will have a perpendicular line that has slope 1/6.

Any equation which has slope 1/6 is a solution.

Example 1/6x - 1 or 1/6x + 7 or etc.
