Answer: y=-6x+26

Step-by-step explanation: We can find the slope of a line that is perpendicular to another line by taking the negated reciprocal of the slope of the original line. So our slope for the perpendicular line is: -6. Now we can put this in a equation to find the y-intercept. So the equation is y=-6x+26
