------------------------------------------------------------------
perpendicular to the line that contains(5/4,-2) and (3/4,-3)
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Those two points, slope

Slope needed for a perpendicular line will be .

----------------------------------------------------
equation of the line that contains the point(2,-4)
----------------------------------------------------

You can start with point-slope form equation.

and simplify and adjust to slope-intercept form.
