Put the given equation into slope-intercept form so that you can determine the slope of the line represented by the given equation. Since perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, take the opposite of the reciprocal of the slope you just calculated and that is the slope of the desired line. Then use the point-slope form:
 )
where )
are the coordinates of the given point and 
is the calculated slope.
Solve the result for 
in terms of everything else to put the result in slope-intercept form.
