the answer is 2,2 so you are correct

well, keeping in mind that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, hmmm what's the slope of MN anyway, well, let's use those two points of 2,3 and -3, 2 to get the slope of it.


[tex] \bf (\stackrel{x_1}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{3})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{-3}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{2})\\\\\\slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{2-3}{-3-2}\implies \cfrac{-1}{-5}\implies \cfrac{1}{5}\\\\[-0.35em]\rule{34em}{0.25pt} [/tex]


[tex] \bf \stackrel{\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}}{\stackrel{slope}{\cfrac{1}{5}}\qquad \qquad \qquad \stackrel{reciprocal}{\cfrac{5}{1}}\qquad \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{-\cfrac{5}{1}\implies -5}} [/tex]


so, we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is -5 and runs through K(3,-3)


[tex] \bf (\stackrel{x_1}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-3})~\hspace{10em}
slope = m\implies -5
\\\\\\
\stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y- y_1= m(x- x_1)}\implies y-(-3)=-5(x-3)
\\\\\\
y+3=-5x+15\implies y=-5x+12
\\\\[-0.35em]
\rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\
\stackrel{x=2}{y=-5(2)+12}\implies y=-10+12\implies y=2~\hfill \boxed{(2,2)} [/tex]
