You can put this solution on YOUR website! Parallel lines have the same slope.
 o/w, same problem, different numbers.
 ===========================
 Write the point slope form of a line that passes through (6,1) and is perpendicular to a line with a slope of -3
 ---------------
 Perpendicular --> the slope, m, is the negative inverse, = 1/3
 ---------
 Use y-y1 = m*(x-x1) where (x1,y1) is the point.
 y-1 = (1/3)*(x-6)
 ---
 To get point-slope form, solve for y.
