Answer:

y - 10 = 2(x - 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall this:  The slope of a new line perpendicular to a given line is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line.

Thus:  The slope of the new line is the negative reciprocal of (-1/2), or +2.

Using the point-slope formula for the equation of a line,

y - k = m(x - h)

becomes

y - 10 = 2(x - 4)

This could also be written as y = 2x - 8 + 10, or y = 2x + 2
