Solution

direction vector of line -2-5t,3t is -5,3

Given a 2D vector u = (a,b) ,then the two 2D vectors perpendicular to u are   v = (b,a) and w = (b,a)

direction vector of line perpendicular to given line is <3,5> or <-3,-5>

vector equation of required line passing throgh (-2,-3) is L(t)=-2+3t,-3+5t or L(t)-2-3t,-3-5t
