You can put this solution on YOUR website!
There is no slope intercept form.
Lines perpendicular to horizontal lines are vertical lines and have an undefined slope.
They have the form,
x=a
In your case,
x=-5

line perpendicular to y=3 is x=k..
It is passing through point (-5,-3)..
So, required line is x=-5..
