Give the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line that is perpendicular to 2x – 4y = 17 and contains p(–8, –2).
a.
y + 2 = −2(x + 8)
c.
y = −2x − 12
b.
y = −2x − 18
d.
y + 8 = −2(x + 2)

Original Equation: 2x - 4y = 17
4y = 2x - 17
Divide the equation by 4, 
y = 1/2 x - 17/4
Compare it with y = mx + c
Then, Slope(m) = 1/2

Line which is perpendicular have slope = -2  [ Opposite & reciprocal ]

Now, y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - (-2) = -2(x - (-8))
y + 2 = -2(x + 8)
y + 2 = -2x - 16
y = -2x - 18

In short, Your Answer would be Option B
