Tap to reveal answer
The slope of a perpendicular lines has the negative reciprocal of the slope of the original line.
If an equation is in slope-intercept form, , we use the from our equation as our original slope.
In this case 
First flip the sign 
To find the reciprocal you take the integer and make it a fraction by placing a 
over it. If it is already a fraction just flip the numerator and denominator.
Do this to make the slope

To be able to identify the slope of a line, we need to get it in the form of
.
To do this we need to change the coefficient of y to be 
instead of 
. To do this, divide both sides of the equation by
