Answer:

The perpendicular line would be y = 6

Explanation:

In order to get this, we must first recognize that the equation given is a vertical line. If our new line is to be perpendicular to it, it must be a horizontal line. All horizontal lines are written as y = (a number). Since we have a point it goes through, we can get that value in the ordered pair. The ordered pair has a y value of 6, which means the equation would be y = 6
