The required equation of the line is y = 5

Equation of a line

The equation of a perpendicular line to a line in point-slope form is expressed as:

y-y1 = -1/m(x-x1)

m is the slope

(x1, y1) is any point on the line

Determine the slope

Slope = -3-3/2-2

y = ∞

Since there is no slope, hence the equation of the line will be in the form y = b

where b is the y-coordinate of the point. Hence the required equation of the line is y = 5
