Point-Slope Construction for Perpendicular Line

In a corporate facilities mapping project, an infrastructure technician is following the standard five-step procedural protocol to determine the equation of a new utility line. The reference line is represented by y=12x−3y = \frac{1}{2}x - 3, and the new perpendicular line must pass through a connection hub at (6, 4). Identify and state the exact equation in its raw point-slope form (y−y1=m⊥(x−x1)y - y_1 = m_{\perp}(x - x_1)) as constructed in Step 4 of this protocol, prior to any distribution or algebraic simplification.
