find and equation of each line, and write it in slope intercept form
through (-7,2) and perpendicular to y=2x
The slope of a line written in slope intercept form is m.
The slope of the line given is m=2.
Perpendicular lines are lines that have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other (opposite signs and upside down).
:
Therefore the slope of our line will be: m=-1/2
We can find the equation of the line using the point slope formula
m=-1/2 and (x1,y1)=(-7,2)

<---Slope intercept form of the line.
Happy Calculating!!!
