Determine the slope of the given line by inspection of the coefficient on .

Use the fact that the slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals, which is to say:



to calculate the slope of the desired line.

Use the point-slope form of an equation of a straight line to create the desired equation.



where are the coordinates of the given point and is the calculated slope.
