$m = \frac{3}{5}$ $m=3/5$

Explanation:

The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals. This means, to find the slope of a perpendicular line, when given slope form is to find the slope (in this case $m = - \frac{5}{3}$ $m=-5/3$ ) and flip it with the opposite sign. So:

$- \frac{5}{3}$ $-5/3$ $\to \frac{3}{5}$ $-> 3/5$
