Start by putting it in slope intercept form.
6x - 4y = 30
6x - 30 = 4y
(6/4)x - 30/4 = y
simplify
(3/2)x - 15/2 = y

A perpendicular line will have a reversed slope. Take the negative reciprocal (flip it over, make negative).
slope of perpendicular line: -2/3

6x - 4y = 30
-4y = -6x + 30
y = 3/2x - 15/2....slope here is 3/2. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. All that means is flip the slope and change the sign. So ur perpendicular line will have a slope of -2/3 (see how I flipped 3/2 making it 2/3...and then changed the sign, making it -2/3)

answer : perpendicular line will have a slope of -2/3.
