1. Find the slope of the line 2. The slope of a line perpendicular is -1/m 3. Use that slope and the point coordinates in the point-slope form of the equation of a line to find the equation of a line through the point that is perpendicular to the given line 4. Solve the two line equations together to find the point where they intersect
