The first equation can be rewritten as:
y=-3x-2
so the slope of the first line
is m=-3
The slope of a line perpendicular to it is
m'=1/(-3)=-1/3
The second equation can be rewritten as:
-4x-3y=6
y=(-4/3)x -2
so the y-intercept is -2.
From the above steps, there should be enough information to find the new line required using the slope-intercept form of equations.
