Answer:
the desired equation is y = (-1/3)x + 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the given line be A: y=3x+2
The slope of line A is m = 3.
The slope of any line B which is perpendicular to line A is the negative reciprocal of the slope of A: m = -(1/3).
The particular perpendicular line that passes through (3, 5) is then
5 = (-1/3)(3) + b, which simplifies to 5 = -1 + b, or b = 6.
Thus, the desired equation is y = (-1/3)x + 6
