perpendicular lines have slope products that are negative reciprocals of one another.
the slope of the given line is 1/2
the perpendicular line has slope -2
point slope formula y-y1=m(x-x1) m slope (x1, y1) point
y-2=-2(x+1)
y=-2x

a line that passes through the point (,) and is to the line
-> slope is
perpendicular line will have a slope negative reciprocal to
it is
use point slope formula:
where m is a slope , and coordinates of given point (,)
-> your equation
