Answer:

-1/6 is the slope of a line perpendicular to that line

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines always have opposite slopes

To find the slope of the perpendicular line you just have to find the opposite of the slope of this line.

First, you have to change the equation of that line to y=mx+b form to make it easier. You would just subtract 6x from both sides and you get y=6x-5

You see that the slope is 6 (or 6x) (this can also be written as 6/1 to make it easier)

The opposite of that is -1/6
