Step-by-step explanation:

the slope is the factor of x in an equation

y = ax + b

we have here

3y = -5x + 21

to get to the general format above we need to divide everything by 3 :

y = -5/3 x + 7

so, we see, the slope is -5/3.

the perpendicular (angle of 90°) slope is the original slope turned upside-down and with flipped sign :

3/5

so, I guess the correct answer option is c.

but it is not clear what you wrote there, as there is a "-" sign somehow in all 4 answers.
