Answer

$2x-y = 8$

Work Step by Step

When two lines are perpendicular in standard form, the coefficient in front of the x term is switched with the coefficient in front of the y term. Then, the new coefficient in front of the y term is made negative. After doing this, we plug in the point to find the new constant: $2x -y = c \\ 2(3) - (-2) = c \\ c= 8$ Thus, we find: $2x-y = 8$
