I'll give you a hint. <u><em>You had to used pemdas stands for: p-parenthesis, e-exponents, m-multiply, d-divide, a-add, and s-subtracting.</em></u>
First you had to calculate with parenthesis first.
Then you add and subtract from left to right.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Perpendicular lines will have slopes that are the multiplicative additive inverse of each other: a line with slope 3/4 is perpendicular to a line with slope -4/3, for example. You need a line that is perpendicular to a line with slope -2 (reading that from the -2 in the -2x portion of the given equation, which is written in slope-intercept form), so your new line must have slope +1/2.
With the slope and a point, we can come up with an equation using this formula:
y - y-coordinate = slope (x - x-coordinate)
So we have y - (-2) = 1/2 (x - 4).
Simplify the equation: y + 2 = 1/2 x - 2
Subtract 2 from both sides: y + 2 - 2 = 1/2 x - 2 - 2
Simplify: y = 1/2 x - 4.
