If two lines are perpendicular, then:


m1* m2=-1

From the equation:


y=-(1)/(3)x-5

We can conclude:


m1=-(1)/(3)

So:


\begin{gathered} -(1)/(3)* m2=-1 \\ m2=3 \end{gathered}

Let:


(x1,y1)=(0,-3)

Using the point-slope equation:


\begin{gathered} y-y1=m2(x-x1) \\ y-(-3)=3(x-0) \\ y+3=3x \\ solve_{\text{ }}for_{\text{ }}y\colon \\ y=3x-3 \end{gathered}
