Answer:
y = -3x -4
Step-by-step explanation:
A perpendicular line has a slope that is the negative reciprocal of that of the given line. When the equation starts out in standard form, a line with negative reciprocal slope can be written by swapping the x- and y-coefficients and negating one of them.
The given x- and y-coefficients have the ratio 1:-3, so we can use the coefficients 3 and 1 for our purpose.
The usual process of making the line go through a given point can be used. That is, we can translate the line from the origin to the desired point by subtracting the point coordinates from x and y. Then we have ...
3(x+3) +(y-5) = 0

This is "an" equation. It is in no particularly recognizable form. It can be rearranged to the form y = mx + b:
3x +9 +y -5 = 0 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
y = -3x -4 . . . . . subtract terms that are not "y"

Answer:
See the second attachment for long division by hand. The first attachment shows the "work" I would usually do.
Step-by-step explanation:
In college math, you are generally expected to be able to make use of a scientific and/or graphing calculator. Division is one of the simpler operations these devices can perform.
If you are doing long division by hand, use the method you were taught in 3rd or 4th grade. The one shown is one of several different methods being taught now.
