Answer: y = -1/2x + 5

Explanation:

1. find the slope. since u tryna find the line perpendicular to y=2x+2, the slope should be the negative reciprocal of 2.

slope = -1/2

2. plug in (4,3) and the slope of -1/2 to the point slope form equation

y-3=-1/2(x-4)

3. solve using distributive property and find da answer

y-3=-1/2x + 2
+3 +3

y = -1/2x + 5 is yo answe
