Answer:

  y = -1/3x -1

Step-by-step explanation:

The perpendicular line will have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line. The given line's slope is the coefficient of x: 3. So, the perpendicular line's slope will be ...

  m = -1/3

Only one answer choice has that value as the coefficient of x:

  y = -1/3x -1
