Answer:

  y = 1/2x -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is in slope-intercept form, so you recognize its slope is -2. The perpendicular line will have a slope that is the opposite reciprocal of that, so is -1/-2 = 1/2.

The y-intercept can be found from ...

  b = y -mx . . . . . for line of slope m through point (x, y)

  b = -1 -(1/2)(2) = -1 -1 = -2

Then the slope-intercept equation of the perpendicular line is ...

  y = 1/2x -2
