You can put this solution on YOUR website! help finding an equation of a line!
It is through (-2, 7) and perpendicular to y=1/2x+4
----
The given equation has slope = 1/2.
Any line perpendicular to it must have slope = -2
-------
Form of Equation: y = mx + b
-------
You have slope = -2 and y = 7 when x = -2
Solve for "b":
7 = -2*-2 + b
b = 3
------
Equation:
y = -2x + 3
