Answer:
y=2x+7

Explanation:

The equation of the line in Slope-Intercept form is:


y=mx+b

Where "m" is the slope and "b" the y-intercept.

Given the equation:


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

You can identify that:


m=-(1)/(2)

Since the slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals, the slope of the line perpendicular to
y=-(1)/(2)x-4 must be:


m=2

Substitute the slope and the coordinates of the given point into
y=mx+b and solve for "b":


3=(2)(-2)+b\\\\3+4=b\\\\b=7

Therefore, the equation of that line is:


y=2x+7
