First, you need to find the slope of the line we're given:

2x = 12y + 4

∴ x = 6y + 3

∴ 6y = x - 3

∴ y = x/6 - 3

By that we can see that the slope of the line given is 1/6. To find the slope that is perpendicular, all you need to do reverse that fraction. Instead of 1/6, it would be 6/1. So the answer to your question is 6.
