First, express 4x+6y+5=04 x + 6 y + 5 = 0 in the basic form y=mx+by = m x + b
6y=4x5y=23x56m=23\begin{array} { l } 6 y = - 4 x - 5 \\y = - \frac { 2 } { 3 } x - \frac { 5 } { 6 } \\m = - \frac { 2 } { 3 }\end{array}
Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes
m=322=32(5)+b      b=2152=112y=32x112\begin{array} { l } m = \frac { 3 } { 2 } \\2 = \frac { 3 } { 2 } ( 5 ) + b ~~~~~~\quad b = 2 - \frac { 15 } { 2 } = - \frac { 11 } { 2 } \\y = \frac { 3 } { 2 } x - \frac { 11 } { 2 }\end{array}
