Solution

Solution:

slope of eaution of line that is perpendicular to y= 2x -12

slope of required line = -1/2   

( mulitiplication of slope of the two perpendicular line = -1 )

Now using point slope form of equation equation of line passing through (6,3) and having slope = -1/2

(y-3) /(x-6) = -1/2

2y-6 =-x+6

y = (-1/2) x + 6

Answer: (-1/2) x +6
