Answer:

[tex]y=\frac{1}{2} (x-2)-3[/tex] or [tex]y=\frac{1}{2} x-4[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The perpendicular slope is the opposite-reciprocal of the original slope:

Perpendicular slope of -2 is [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Write the equation in point-slope form ([tex]y=a(x-h)+k[/tex]):

[tex]y=\frac{1}{2} (x-2)-3[/tex]

Convert to slope-intercept form if needed:

[tex]y=\frac{1}{2} x-1-3[/tex]

[tex]y=\frac{1}{2} x-4[/tex]
