Answer:

y=2x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

A line that is perpendicular has a slope that is a negative reciprocal of the given equation. The slope of the given equation is -1/2, so the negative reciprocal would be 2.

Then, using slope-intercept form, plug in the point values (2,3) into the equation and solve for b.

y=mx+b

y=2x+b

3=2(2)+b

-1=b

Therefore the equation is y=2x-1
