Step by Step, yes? Thank you. Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Write the standard equation of the line described.
Through (-4,4), perp. to y= 1/2x+2
-----
The given equation has slope = 1/2
Any line perpendicular to it must have slope = -2
------
Form: y = mx + b
-----
Solve for "b":
4 = -2*(-4) = b
b = -4
-------
Equation:
y = -2x - 4
