1. **State the problem:** Find the point where the line perpendicular to \(L: \vec{r} = (1,-5) + s(3,5)\) passing through \(P(2,0)\) intersects the y-axis.
2. **Recall the line from part a:** The direction vector of \(L\) is \(\vec{d} = (3,5)\).
3. **Find the direction vector of the perpendicular line:** A vector perpendicular to \(\vec{d} = (3,5)\) is \(\vec{d}_\perp = (-5,3)\) because the dot product \(3 \times (-5) + 5 \times 3 = -15 + 15 = 0\).
4. **Write the parametric equation of the perpendicular line through \(P(2,0)\):**
$$\vec{r}_\perp = (2,0) + t(-5,3)$$
which gives
$$x = 2 - 5t$$
$$y = 0 + 3t = 3t$$
5. **Find the intersection with the y-axis:** On the y-axis, \(x=0\). Set \(x=0\) in the parametric equation:
$$0 = 2 - 5t$$
Solve for \(t\):
$$5t = 2$$
$$t = \frac{2}{5}$$
6. **Find the corresponding y-coordinate:**
$$y = 3t = 3 \times \frac{2}{5} = \frac{6}{5}$$
7. **Final answer:** The line intersects the y-axis at the point \(\left(0, \frac{6}{5}\right)\).
