Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>The correct question is</em></u>
what is the equation for a line passing through (-2,3) and perpendicular to y= -1/2<em>x</em>+1 ?
Remember
If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes are equal to -1)
The slope of the given line is m=-1/2
so
the opposite reciprocal is m=2
<em>Find the equation of the line in point slope form</em>
we have
substitute
<em>Convert to slope intercept form</em>
isolate the variable y
