Answer:
y = 1/2x + 9/2 or y=0.5x+4.5
Step-by-step explanation:
An equation that qualifies as perpendicular has the slope that when multiplied by the original slope, it will make -1. The slope that is perpendicular to -2 should be 1/2. Use the point-slope form to find the answer.
y-4 = 1/2(x-(-1))
y-4 = 1/2x + 1/2
y = 1/2x + 9/2
