Probability help please?

Suppose X and Y are independent random variables with a standard normal distribution.  Prove that X/Y has a Cauchy distribution.

Now I know that a random variable X with a standard normal distribution has density:

1/sqrt(2π) * e^(-½x²)

However, I'm unsure of where to go from here.
