The equation of a line in Slope-Intercept form is:
[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]Where "m" is the slope and "b" is the y-intercept.
Solve for "y" from the equation given in the exercise in order to write it in Slope-Intercept form:
[tex]\begin{gathered} -2+3y=-15 \\ 3y=-15+2 \\ y=-\frac{13}{2} \end{gathered}[/tex]You can notice that the equation has this form:
[tex]y=b[/tex]Where "b" is the y-intercept.
Then, it's a horizontal line, which means that its slope is:
[tex]m=0[/tex]Since it is a horizontal line, the lines perpendicular to that line is a vertical line, whose slope is undefined and whose equation is:
[tex]x=k[/tex]Where "k" is the x-intercept.
Knowing that the x-coordinate of any point on a vertical line is always the same, and knowing that this line passes through this point:
[tex]\mleft(2,-8\mright)[/tex]You can determine that the equation of the line is:
[tex]x=2[/tex]
