Answer:

Explanation:

A perpendicular line has a negative reciprocal of the line it is perpendicular to.

y =
(3)/(4)
x - 6

Since the slope of that line is
(3)/(4), the line perpendicular to that will have the slope of
-(4)/(3).

Now let's plug the slope into the slope-intercept equation.

y = mx + b

y =
-(4)/(3)
x + b

Next, we need to find the y-intercept (b), to get to the equation.

TO FULLY SOLVE THIS, I WOULD NEED TO KNOW ONE POINT OF THE PERPENDICULAR LINE!

Please let me know if there is another point that way I can help you! <3
