First find the slope of the line
.
Rewrite the line in slope-intercept form y = mx + b, where m is slope and b is y-intercept.
\
Compare the equation with slope-intercept form and find the slope of the line.
\ =
.
If two lines are perpendicular, the slope (m1) of one line is opposite reciprocal of the second line slope (m2). It can be represented as,
.
Slope of the line perpendicular to given line is 
So, slope of the new line = 1.
Graph the line using given point and slope.
\1. Draw a coordinate plane.
\2. Plot the given point (0, 0).
\3. Find the next point using
. Start at (0, 0) and go up 1 unit and 1 unit right, then mark a dot and label it.
4. Draw a line through these points.
