Answer:

y=2x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

To find an equation perpendicular to another one, you must find the negative inverse of the slope.

In this case, -1/2 has an inverse of -2, but because we're finding the negative inverse, the two negatives cancel out and we get 2, the slope of our perpendicular equation, which crosses the initial equation, making a right angle.
