]Choose the equation of the line passing through the point (-2, 4) and perpendicular to y = -negative one halfx + 4. y = 2x + 8 y = 2x y = -2x - 8 y = -2x

Perpendicular means the slopes are negative reciprocals

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For example, if your slope is 1/4, the perpendicular line would have a slope of -4

SO, by substituting, your equation is y-4=2(x+2)

so thts B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, not B. You must've simplified incorrectly.
