Slope-intercept form is a form
Slope of given line is . A line perpendicular to it will have slope .

For perpendicular line to contain the point (p,v),

You can apply a similar process for your given equation and point, and simplify, putting into slope intercept form; or you can just substitute the values from your problem description into the formula just derived.
