Procedural Protocol for Perpendicular Line Construction in Infrastructure Planning

Imagine you are working as a junior network infrastructure planner for a telecommunications firm. Your supervisor has assigned you to draft a new fiber-optic route that runs perfectly perpendicular to an existing trunk line. The existing line's path is modeled by the equation y=12x3y = \frac{1}{2}x - 3, and the new route must connect directly to a distribution hub located at the coordinates (6, 4).

To ensure the planning documentation is mathematically sound, write a short essay that outlines the five-step procedural protocol required to find the equation of this perpendicular fiber-optic line. In your essay, recall and state each of the five steps of the protocol, explicitly showing the mathematical values, substitutions, and intermediate formulas used in each step, ending with the final equation in slope-intercept form.
