I'm not sure how to proceed from here, from my understanding I've got to add a constant ?
If \(\displaystyle a\cdot b\ne 0\) then any line perpendicular to \(\displaystyle ax+by+c=0\) has the form \(\displaystyle bx-ay+d=0\).Here's what I've done so far:

The problem isAn equation of a line through (4,6) which is perpendicular to the line y = -3x + 3 has slope ____ and y-intercept at ____.
Your work, cleaned up a bit, is

You have not quite written what I expect you to write:y = (1/3)x + b
then6 = (1/3)(4) + b
but I think that's what you intended. Then you solved for b, as I would expect -- but how is 6 - (1/3)(4) equal to 5??
Do the correct arithmetic, and you will have the answer.
You should not be using your calculator. You should be doing arithmetic with fractions by hand. That way, you'll get the exact value, instead of a rounded approximation (4.66).****, I should've used my calculator it's 4.66.

I've reviewed your posts in this forum. You have a habit of skipping tutor's questions and not following their suggestions.
Please don't milk us for answers. Make an stronger effort, instead. Like the guidelines say, if you don't understand a reply, ask us about it, and we will guide you further. Agree?
Can you multiply 1/3 by 4? Can you subtract the result from 6, by first getting a common denominator?
:idea: If there's anything in a reply that you don't understand, let us know what it is. We can try providing more detail, rewording, or a different approach.I skip [tutor's questions and suggestions] because I don't understand it.
Perhaps, my choice of words was too harsh. What I meant is that, when a first step or two is provided, you imply that you already knew that and ask for the next step, and, after that, you say you got it but then ask how to get the answer.I'm not milking anyone for answers … What would you call my attempt at the question? Not an effort ?
It actually rounds to 4.67, but don't use the decimal approximation version. Use the exact value of 14/3.****, I should've used my calculator it's 4.66. How do I plug that ? y = 1/3x+4.66 ? I've got the slope, but I don't know where to go from here to find where it intercepts.

I would call your attempt 'an effort'. After you get guidedance, try thinking or experimenting more, before giving up too quickly. If you rely on crutches, it'll take longer to stand on your own.
@mmm4444bot, thank you thank you for that request.Gadsilla: Did you receive my private message six days ago? Please stop using the gyazo site in this forum.
On the contrary, what I see is you becoming argumentative too quickly. Please don't take things so seriously; try to be receptive to constructive criticism without interpreting it as a personal attack.If you've been reading the posts … you'll see that people start being condescending …
Then we ask that you not skip over suggestions when you don't understand them. If you let us tutor you, our goal is for you to see the way, by doing more of your own thinking. That's how one grows their brain. As long as you're making efforts, we're willing to go over it as many times as it takes.I'm not looking for the answer, I'm looking for the way to do it & why.
