Question 523775
6	x		-2	y  	=	1				
Find the slope of this line 										
										
-2	y  	=	-6	x	+	1				
Divide by 	-2									
	y  	=	3	x	+	-0.5				
Compare this equation with y=mx+b										
slope m =	3.00									
										
The slope of a line perpendicular to the above line will be the negative reciprocal 
m1*m2=-1										
The slope of the required line will be 	- 1/3							
										
m=	- 1/3	,point	(	0	,	3	)			
Find b by plugging the values of m & the point in										
y=mx+b										
3	=	0.00	+	b						
b=	3									
m=	- 1/3									
The required equation is		y  	=	-  1/ 3	x	+	3
