Answer:

[tex]y = - \frac{1}{2} x + 5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

slope-intercept form

y= mx +c, where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept

Given line: y= 2x +2

slope= 2

The product of the slopes of perpendicular lines is -1. Let the slope of the unknown line be m.

m(2)= -1

m= -1 ÷2

m= -½

Substitute the value of m into the equation:

y= -½x +c

To find the value of c, substitute a pair of coordinates.

When x= 4, y= 3,

3= -½(4) +c

3= -2 +c

c= 3 +2

c= 5

Thus, the equation of the line is y= -½x +5.
