Question

Write the equation of the line that goes through the point (1,2) and is perpendicular to the line y=1/3+6.

Answer 1

x =1 is the perpendicular line through the given point

UNLESS you really meant

y = (1/3)x +6

then

the perpendicular line is

y= -3(x-2) +1 =-3x +6+1

y =-3x +7

or maybe you meant

y = 1/3x +6

but that's unlikely
