Answer:

y = -5/3x + 3

Explanation:

First lets turn the equation from standard form to slope intercept form.

3x - 5y = 1

~Subtract 3x to both sides

-5y = 1 - 3x

~Divide -5 to everything

y = -1/5 + 3/5x

~Reorder

y = 3/5x - 1/5

Now that we have the equation in slope intercept form, we can find the new equation. A perpendicular line will have the opposite reciprocal of the original slope.

3/5x -> -5/3x

Now that we have the slope, we can use the given point to find the y-intercept.

y = -5/3x + b

8 = -5/3(-3) + b

8 = 5 + b

3 = b

Put all the information we solved for into a final equation.

y = -5/3x + 3

Best of Luck!
