    First, third and fifth.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Two lines are perpendicular when one's slope is the negative reciprocal of the other's.

    The slope of your line is easy to find out: 1/3

    Now, a perpendicular line must have a negative reciprocal slope, that is - 3.

    Of the five lines given as options, only the first one, the third one and the fifth have a slope of - 3.

    For the record, the slope of the second line is + 3 and the slope of the fourth line is + 1/3.
