    Put it into slope intercept form y=mx+b where m is slope

    0=-15-7x+3y

    subtract 3y from both sides

    -3y=-7x-15

    multiply both sides by - 1

    3y=7x+15

    divide both sdies by 3

    y=7/3x+5

    slope is 7/3

    to find a line perpendicular to it, the slope of the other line, when multiplied by this line, must equal - 1, exg

    1/2 and - 2/1 are perpenicular

    -1 and 1 are perpendicular

    therefor the line perpendicular to it has a slope of - 3/7, exg y=-3/7+3
