Point-Slope form:

Your given equation has slope as from standard form equation, which is for the given equation, . The slope for the equation you are asked to find must be because the line you want to find must be perpendicular to the given equation.
You have the point-slope form for a line, so use the needed slope and given point in this equation form, and then simplify.
