Through (3,5), perpedicular to x+4y=-47

Expect the equation for the expected line in standard form to be -4x%2By=c and to contain the point at x=3 and y=5. Find c using this point.
-4%283%29%2B%285%29=c


A longer solution can be done using either point slope form or slope intercept form, but knowing enough about how standard form works makes for a simpler solution.
