For this case we have that by definition, the equation of the line of the slope-intersection form is given by:
Where:
m: It's the slope
b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis
We have two points through which the line passes:
We found the slope:
Substituting we have:
Thus, the equation is of the form:
We substitute one of the points and find the cut-off point:
Finally, the equation is:

Answer:
y=-2x-3
Step-by-step explanation:
Since our equation is in standard form Ax+By=C we must first manipulate the equation so that we have it in the slope-intercept form such that y=mx+b. Therefore:
Therefore, our slope is 1/2 and our y-intercept is 2. Now in order to determine a perpendicular line to the one stated above we must then get the negative inverse of our slope meaning (negative reciprocal). Now we must use the point slope formula:
Where m is the slope, x1 is -2 and y1 is 1 (because of the ordered pair given). And so:
Therefore, the line that is perpendicular to -x+2y=4 is y=-2x-3.
