I think ur supposed to find the oppisite slope but im nawt sure...

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

Choose the equation of the line passing through the point (-2, 4) and perpendicular to \[y=-\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }x+4\] Answer Choices: y = 2x + 8 y = 2x y = -2x - 8 y = -2x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if a line is perpendicular to another its slope is its opposite reciprocal. so the opposite of -1/2 is 1/2 and the reciprocal is 2/1. so the slope is 2. we can already eliminate C and D. do the equation y-y1=m(x-x1) y-4=2(x-(-2)) y-4=2(x+2) y-4=2x+4 y=2x+8 A is the Answer
