You want the equation either in standard form or in slope intercept form. Put into the form which you have the most comfort.

The slope plainly is . The slope for any line perpendicular will be the negative reciprocal, in this case, .

You can still stay with slope-intercept form, now wanting the equation perpendicular to .

Solve for b, and substitute the point which needs to be on the line, and then finish the equation.
