Answer

$y=-2$

Work Step by Step

A line perpendicular to $x=5$ (a vertical line) is a horizontal line with slope equal to $0$. Using $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$ or the Point-Slope Form, the equation of the line with slope $ 0 $ and passing through $( 3,-2 )$ is \begin{array}{l} y-(-2)=0(x-3) \\\\ y+2=0 \\\\ y=-2 .\end{array}
