write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to x=2 and goes through the point (-6,3)

Did you graph your line to see that x=2 is just a vertical line? Since horizontal line is perpendicular to a vertical line your line is actually given in the coordinates (-6,3). That said a horizontal is y = some constant k and according to the coordinates that constant is the number 3. You should graph both lines to see this and confirm that they are indeed perpendicular.
