The vector \(\mathbf{v} = a\mathbf{i} + b\mathbf{j}\) is perpendicular to the line \(ax + by = c\). Use this fact to find an equation of the line through P perpendicular to \(\mathbf{v}\). Then draw a sketch of the line including \(\mathbf{v}\) as a vector starting at the origin. \(P(-2, -8)\), \(\mathbf{v} = -3\mathbf{i} + \mathbf{j}\) The equation of the line is \(\boxed{\qquad}\) (Type an equation)
