In order to find the slope of a line perpendicular to another, you need to take the negative recipricol. In your case, you first need to transform it to y=mx+b form. You do that by isolating the y and solving.

So, we wee that your slope is .
The negative recipricol is .
Then, all you do is plug in 2 for your x value and -2 for you y and solve for b.

The final equation should be

Hope this helps!
