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

original looks like this?$$y=-\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }+4$$

Yep

ok well first find your negative reciprocal of the slope, which would be two because the original is negative on half. then, since only one of the answers with 2 as a slope includes an intercept, you choose that one.
