Precision Infrastructure: Perpendicular Utility Path

An industrial site planner at Precision Infrastructure is designing a secondary utility conduit that must be perfectly perpendicular to a primary power line modeled by the equation y=3x+1y = 3x + 1. The conduit is required to pass through a specific junction box located at the coordinates (4,2)(4, 2). Based on the five-step algebraic mapping method, what is the final equation of the line representing this secondary conduit in slope-intercept form (y=mx+by = mx + b)?
