perpendicular means that the slopes are negartive inverses, aka
slope1 times slope2=-1

y=mx+b
slope=m

y=-1/2x-2
slope=-1/2

we need to find negative inverse
-1/2 times what=-1
answer is 2

y=2x+b
input the point (2,-2) to find b
(x,y)
(2,-2)
-2=2(2)+b
-2=4+b
minus 4 from both sides
-6=b
y=2x-6

the equtaion is y=2x-6
