The equation of a line that is perpendicular to 3y = -x + 9 and that has a y intercept of 6 is y = 3x + 6.

The slope of the first line is -1/3, from the slope-intercept form y = mx + b, or y = -x/3 + 3. The perpendicular slope is 3, by negating and inverting -1/3. Add the intercept to the slope-intercept form and you get y = 3x + 6.
