Answer:

         y = -¹/₂ x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Two lines are perpendicular if the product of theirs slopes is equal -1:

y=m₁x+b₁   ⊥   y=m₂x+b₂   ⇒    m₁×m₂ = -1

 

y = 2x + 3   ⇒   m₁=2

2×m₂ = -1        ⇒    m₂ = -¹/₂

The y-intercept is b=-6 so the equation in  slope-intercept form:

                                                y = -¹/₂ x - 6
