Answer:

y=-2x-7

Step-by-step explanation:

lines are typically written in y=mx+b form, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

we are given the line y=1/2x-4

perpendicular lines are negative and reciprocal; if the slopes are multiplied together, the result is -1

so to find the slope of the new line, use this formula:

1/2m=-1

multiply by 2

m=-2

so the slope is -2

here's the equation so far, written in y=mx+b form

y=-2x+b

we need to find b

because the line passes through the point (-4,1), we can use it to solve for b

substiute -4 as x and 1 as y

1=-2(-4)+b

1=8+b

-7=b

so b is -7

therefore the line is:

y=-2x-7

Hope this helps! :D
