Line CD passes through point E.
Line CD: y−5=−3(x+2)
Point E: (6,−1)
What is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to line CD?
y=1/3x−4
y=−1/3x−19/3
y=−1/3x+5
y=−1/3x+19/3
y=1/3x+4

Answer i think is either the first one or last one

So you have the perpendicular slope correct : )
thus the equation looks like y = 1/3x + b ,
now sub in the point (6, -1) and solve for b : )
