<PRE><B>Question 831016</B>
-----------------------
&quot;the line is perpendicular to y=2x+1 and passes through (-2,3)&quot;
-----
The given line has slope = 2
---
A perpendicular line will have slope = -1/2.
-------
Form: y = mx + b
Solve for &quot;b&quot;:
3 = (-1/2)(-2) + b
-----
3 = 1 + b
b = 2
------
Equation:
y = (-1/2)x + 2
