Answer:

y = 3x - 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines will have a opposite reciprocal slope, so the slope will be 3.

Plug in the slope and given point into y = mx + b, then solve for b:

y = mx + b

4 = 3(6) + b

4 = 18 + b

-14 = b

Plug in the slope and y intercept into y = mx + b

y = 3x - 14

So, the equation of the line is y = 3x - 14
