Question
## A.2F

**Objective:** Write an equation of a line that passes through the point (-2, 4) and is perpendicular to the line given by the equation \( y = -2x - 4 \). Express the final result:

- In Slope-Intercept form: \( y = mx + b \)
- In Standard form: \( Ax + By = C \)

**Instructions:** 
1. Ensure that the slope is expressed as an integer or a fraction in its simplest form.
2. **Important:** DO NOT PUT SPACES BETWEEN ENTRIES; JUST TYPE IN YOUR ANSWER WITH NO SPACES. 

**Guide:**

To find the equation of the line:
- Identify the slope of the given line, \( y = -2x - 4 \). Here, the slope \( m \) is -2.
- Determine the slope of the line perpendicular to it. The perpendicular slope is the negative reciprocal, which is \(\frac{1}{2}\).
- Use the point-slope form to substitute the point (-2, 4) and the slope \(\frac{1}{2}\) into the equation \( y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) \).
- Convert it to Slope-Intercept form and Standard form as required.
