Since the given equation is in slope-intercept form, determine the slope of the graph of the given equation by inspection of the coefficient on 
.
Use the principle that the slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of each other, which is to say:
to calculate the slope of the graph of the desired equation.
Use the point-slope form of the equation of a line:
 )
where )
are the coordinates of the given point and 
is the calculated slope.
Manipulate the result to obtain the slope-intercept form, namely
