Answer:

y - 3 = (5/3)(x - 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

The usual first step is to determine the slope of the given line.

In this case the slope is -3/5.

A line perpendicular to this given line would have a slope of 5/3, which is the negative reciprocal of -3/5.

This new line goes thru (6, 3) and has a slope of 5/3.  Thus, the equation of the line in point-slope form is

y - 3 = (5/3)(x - 6)

Double check that you have copied the problem down correctly.  The slope of the line represented by -3x - 5y = 17 is neither 2 nor -2; it is -3/5, and so the slope of a line perpendicular to -3x - 5y = 17 is +5/3.
