To find the equation of a perpendicular line, you first need to find the negative reciprocal of the slope given. The slope is -1/3, so the slope of the perpendicular line will be 3
Now we just need to find the y intercept using the point (3, 2) and you can plug the coordinates in and then solve for b. Let's see what that looks like.
y=3x+b
2=3*(3)+b
2=9+b
-7=b So now we know the y-intercept and slope. We just put them together now
y=3x-7
The answer is 9 I believe
