Answer:

y = - 2x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = \frac{1}{2} x - 7 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = \frac{1}{2}

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

m_{perpendicular} = - \frac{1}{m} = - \frac{1}{\frac{1}{2} } = - 2, hence

y = - 2x + c ← is the partial equation of the perpendicular line

To find c substitute (4, - 3) into the partial equation

- 3 = - 8 + c ⇒ c = - 3 + 8 = 5

y = - 2x + 5 ← equation of perpendicular line
