To find a line perpendicular to the line going throught the 2 points,
we need to find its slope first.

for the two points (0,5) and (-3,-4),



The line going through (0,5) and (-3,-4) has a slope of 3.
Perpendicular lines have a relationship between their slopes as follows,

In this case,


Therefore your perpendicular line equation is,


where b=0 for simplicity.
