    Step-by-step explanation:

    Hello:

    the equation is : y = ax+b

    the slope is a : a * (2/3) = - 1 ... (perpendicular to a line with a slope of 2/3 because the equation y=2/3 x - 5)

    a = - 3/2 y = (-3/2) x+b

    the line that passes through (6, - 1) : - 1 = (-3/2) (6) + b

    b = 0

    the equation is : y = (-3/2) x
