Since slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of each other,
first find a slope of the line
use the form where is a slope and is

.....as you can see and
now, let be a line that is perpendicular on given line

if , then negative reciprocals of it is

since given that new line has the same as , means will be:
...first solve for

....=>...
now, our line is:

let's see our line on a graph:

now, check if this line is perpendicular to :

now check if our line has same as :
