Answer:

y=(-1/3) x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

A line that is perpendicular to it has a slope that is an opposite reciprocal, which in this case is -1/3.  Now you use point slope form which is y-y1=m(x-x1) that would be y+5=-1/3(x-6).  Distribute the -1/3 and get y+5= -1/3 x+ 2.  Subtract 5 from both sides and get y=-1/3 x - 3
