    Answer:

    Step-by-step explanation:

    To be perpendicular the product of the two slopes is equal to negative one.

    m1(m2)=-1, in this case the slope of the reference line is 1/3 so the other line will have a slope

    m/3=-1

    m=-3 so our perpendicular line is

    y=-3x+b, using point (3,-5) we can solve for the y intercept b

    -5=-3(3)+b

    -5=-9+b

    b=4 so the completed perpendicular line passing through point (3,-5) is

    y=-3x+4
