The perpendicular line has a slope that is the negative reciprocal of -3/5. That would be +5/3
\n" ); document.write( "point slope formula
\n" ); document.write( "y-y1=m(x-x1), where m is slope and (x1,y1) the point
\n" ); document.write( "y+2=(5/3)(x+3)
\n" ); document.write( "y=(5/3)x+3
\n" ); document.write( "-(5/3)x+y=3
\n" ); document.write( "multiply by -3
\n" ); document.write( "5x-3y=-9
\n" ); document.write( "That does go through (-3,-2)
