    Step-by-step explanation:

    Perpendicular lines have slopes which are negative reciprocals. Line a with the equation y = 13x + 3 has slope 13. This means Line b which is perpendicular will have slope - 1/13.

    The equation of line b is any equation where - 1/13 is the slope/

    Example: y = - 1/13x + 5 or y = - 1/13x - 6
