Answer:
y = -
x + 
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Rearrange 4y = 5x + 3 into this form by dividing the 3 terms by 4
y =
x +
← in slope- intercept form
with slope m = 
Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is
= -
= -
= -
, thus
y = -
x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute (3, - 2) into the partial equation
- 2 = -
+ c ⇒ c = - 2 +
= 
y = -
x +
← equation of perpendicular line
