the standard slope-intercept form for an equation of a line is
where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.
.........
2x-6y=12
y = (1/3)x - 2 , m = (1/3) (Green)
......
Line Perpendicular: m = -3/1 (negative reciprocal)
***Using point-slope form, P(-1,2)
y - 2 = -3(x+1)
y = -3x -1 (Blue)

Given 2x-6y=12
Transform the equation into slope intercept form and find the slope and y -intercept of the line.
6y = 2x-12
y = (1/3)x - 2
---
slope = (1/3) ; y-intercept = -2
----------------------------------------
and find the equation in slope intercept form of the line that is perpendicular to this line and passes through the point (-1,2).
slope = -3
Form:: y = mx + b
Solve for "b"::
2 = -3*-1 + b
b = -1
---
Equation:
y = -3x -1
