Determine the slope of the line represented by the given equation by examination of the coefficient on 
. Calculate the negative reciprocal of that slope. Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals, so this is the slope of your desired line. Now use the point-slope form:
 )
where )
are the coordinates of the given point and 
is the calculated slope.
