As a formula? Try this.
Given y=mx+b, find the equation of a line perpendicular to it which contains the point (u,v).

You want a line , and to find this k, the y-intercept, solve for k.

We are accepting (u,v) as a specific, given point.

Use (u,v) to find k.

Using these we put together our wanted line's equation.

This formula could be simplified further if you want:
