Question 1132168
<br>
slope of given line: -1/2<br>
slope of line perpendicular to given line: 2 (negative reciprocal of -1/2)<br>
The equation is {{{y = 2x+b}}}<br>
To find b and thus finish finding the equation of the specified line, use the fact that (x,y) = (-7,2) satisfies the equation:<br>
{{{2 = 2(-7)+b}}}<br>
Solve for b....
