The slope of is
Flip the fraction: ---->
Flip the sign: ---->
The perpendicular slope is . So
-------------------------------------------------------
Plug in
Plug in (x,y) = (2,1). Solve for b.
-------------------------------------------------------
Since and , the equation turns into
The perpendicular equation is
