Answer:

y=-1/3x+10

Explanation:

y=3x+1

The line perpendicular would have a negative reciprocal of the slope of 3 which means that you would add a negative sign and then flip 3/1 into 1/3 resulting in -1/3 as the slope.

To find the line that passes through the point (6,8) you would plug the values into the equation y=mx+b

m=-1/3x as found above

6 is the x-value and 8 is the y-value

8=(-1/3)(6)+b

8=-2+b

Add 2 on both sides and you get b to equal 10
