Answer:

D

Explanation:

To find the slope of the line perpendicular, you take the reciprocal of the slope of the first line and multiply by -1. So a line with slope
(1)/(2) is perpendicular to a line with slope -
(2)/(1).

In your case, the slope of the line perpendicular is going to be
-(5)/(2). So yoo know your equation will look like y=
-(5)/(2)x+b. To solve for b, plug in the x and y-coordinates:


-2=-(5)/(2)(2)+b

b=3

So your final answer is y=
\bold{-(5)/(2)}x+3. Answer D is correct.
