You have the following equation:

2x - y = 4

Solve the previous equation for y:

y = 2x - 4

The slope of the previous line is m = 2.

Consider that the slope of a perpendicular line related to the previous one:

m' = -1/m

then, the slope of the perpendicular line:

m = -1/2

From the given answer choices you can notice that the following equation is the perpendicular line:

y = -1/2 x + 12
