the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line;

passes through (, )
perpendicular to

first find the slope of given line

so, a slope is

recall that perpendicular lines have slopes negative reciprocal to each other, so the slope of the line perpendicular to given line will be

now use given point and a slope to find equation
..........plug in the coordinates of the point (, ) and the slope

=> your line
