Answer:

We conclude that the slope of the line that is perpendicular to
y=3x+6 will be: -1/3

Explanation:

Given the equation


y=3x+6

Comparing with the slope-intercept form


y=mx+b

Here, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

so


y=3x+6

Here the slope of line = m = 3

As we know that the slope of the perpendicular line is basically the negative reciprocal of the slope of the line, so

the slope of the perpendicular line will be: -1/3

Therefore, we conclude that the slope of the line that is perpendicular to
y=3x+6 will be: -1/3
