    To do that u need to solve the equation for y

    First move the 3x over to get

    6y = - 3x + 2

    Now solve for y by divided by 6

    Y = - 3/6x + 2/6

    A line perpendicular to this equation would have a slope that is the opposite reciprocal, so flip the - 3/6 and change the sign

    This gives u 6/3 which simplifies to two

    The new equation of the line would be y = 2x - 2
