Since the given equation is in standard form, divide the opposite of the coefficient on 
by the coefficient on 
to determine the slope of the given line. Since perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other, calculate the negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line. Then use the point slope form to determine your desired equation:
 )
where )
are the coordinates of the given point and 
is the calculated slope.
