The given line
can be modified to the slope-intercept form.
The given line has a slope,
Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other.
The slope of the new line is then
You can then use the point-slope form of a line.
Check your answer using your point.
True statement.
Good answer.
