y = -1/3x + 2.....the slope here is -1/3. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. To find the negative reciprocal, flip the slope and change the sign. So the slope is -1/3.....flip it and it becomes - 3/1....change the sign and it becomes 3/1 or just 3. So ur perpendicular line will have a slope of 3.

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 3
(-3,-5)....x = -3 and y = -5
now sub into the formula and find b, the y int
-5 = 3(-3) + b
-5 = -9 + b
-5 + 9 = b
4 = b
so ur perpendicular equation is : y = 3x + 4 <===
