    The equation y = 6x + 2 is in the format which is called the slope-intercept form: y = mx + b where m = slope. Therefore the slope here is 6.

    For the line perpendicular, the slope of it is a negative reciprocal from the original slope, that is m (perpendicular) = - 1/m

    Slope the line perpendicular is m (perpendicular) = - 1/6. The answer is C.
