Find the equation of the tangent line to the curve $x^2y-x=4y^3-108$ for $x=0.$

108y-x=108

y-108x=324

y-108x=108

108y+x=324

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point $(3,24)$ and is perpendicular to the tangent line of the curve $y=x^2+5x$ at that point?

y=\frac{1}{11}x + \frac{267}{11}

y=\frac{1}{11}x - \frac{267}{11}

y=-\frac{1}{11}x + \frac{267}{11}

y=-\frac{1}{11}x - \frac{267}{11}
