Find the slope of the perpendicular line.
For two lines to be perpendicular, their slopes are negative reciprocals of each other.

Or in your case

Since you didn't specify any points for the perpindicular line to pass through, you can choose the origin (0,0) as a point on the line. The slope-intercept form of the line equation is

Slope is 12/11 from above and (0,0) is a point on the line.
Solve for .
