First find the slope of the given line:
Add 2x to both sides.
Divide both sides by 2.
Compare this with the slope-intercept form:

The slope is: If a line is perpendicular to this, its slope will be the negative reciprocal or so we can start with:
Now we find b by substituting the x- and y-coordinates from the given point:

The equation is:
