Use:

and the slope of the given line determined by inspection of the equation presented in slope-intercept form to determine the slope of the desired perpendicular.

Then use the point-slope form of the equation of a line with the slope determined above and the given point to derive an equation for the desired perpendicular.

where

is the slope derived in the first step and

are the coordinates of the given point.

Finally, rearrange the equation into Standard Form:
