Answer:

y=1/2x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

First, rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form:

2x+y=-3

y=-3-2x

y=-2x-3

Second, find the opposite reciprocal slope:

-2

2

1/2

Now, solve for the new y-intercept:

y=mx+b

y=1/2x+b

-3=1/2(2)+b

-3=1+b

-4=b

Therefore, the correct equation is y=1/2x-4
