Answer:

m = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

First write the line in slope intercept form y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

x-y = 6

subtract x from each side

-y = -x+6

Multiply each side by -1

y = x-6

The slope is 1

Perpendicular lines have slopes that multiply to -1

m * 1 = -1

m = -1

The slope of the perpendicular line is -1
