-------------
Find the slope of the given line.
Lines perpendicular to have a slope that's the negative inverse.
Call that m.
------
Use y - y1 = m*(x-x1) where (x1,y1) is the point (4,-3)

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (h,k) and is perpendicular to the line Ax+By=C?
---------------------------------------------------
Slope of the given line is .
Slope of the asked line to be perpendicular is .
If you want to start in point-slope equation form, then the line's equation being asked is ; and if you want in the form of Ax+By=C, then
Substitute your given values to answer your specific example.
