Answer:

Explanation:

The slope of a line perpendicular to a given line is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line. To find the slope of the line x - 6y = 24, we can rearrange the equation to the form y = (1/6)x + 4. So the slope of the line is 1/6.

The slope of a line perpendicular to this line would be the negative reciprocal of 1/6 which is -6
