Take the negative of the coefficient on 
and divide by the coefficient on 
to get the slope of the given line. Take the negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line to get the slope of the desired line. Use the point-slope form of an equation to derive the desired equation:
 )
where )
are the coordinates of the given point and 
is the calculated slope.
