First, let us find out the slope for the perpendicular line.
This equation:
(5)(m2)=-1
m2=-1/5
The slope of the perpendicular line is -1/5
Now, we need the second piece for the puzzle.
Use the point-slope equation which is
Plug them in:
Simplify the last fraction, which becomes 6 and 2/5
Here you go!
