Answer:

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to write an equation in slope intercept form.

x - 3y = 12

- 3y = - x + 12

y = 1/3 x + 12

Slope = 1/3, so for perpendicular line slope should be -3.

A. x+ 3y = 9

   3y = -x + 9

   y = -1/3 + 3  slope = - 1/3

B. 3x - y = 5

    y = 3x - 5, slope = 3

C. 3x + y = 6

    y = -3x + 6 , slope = -3

D. x - 3y = -3

    - 3y = - x - 3

         y = 1/3 x + 1, slope = 1/3
