an equation for a line perpendicular to and passing through the point (,)
perpendicular lines have a slopes negative reciprocal to each other
so, write the equation of given line in slope intercept form
=> slope is
then a slope of the perpendicular line will be
now we have a slope and one point which is enough to find equation of the perpendicular line using point slope formula
.........plug in and point (,)
-> your line
