Answer:
y -3 = -2(x +4)
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of the given line is ...
m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)
m = (1 -(-3))/(4 -(-4)) = 4/8 = 1/2
The perpendicular line will have slope -1/(1/2) = -2.
__
The point-slope equation of the line with slope m through point (h, k) is ...
y -k = m(x -h)
For point (-4, 3) and slope -2, the equation is ...
y -3 = -2(x +4)
