First find the slope through (0, 5) and (-3, -4)

Solved by pluggable solver: Finding the slope

Slope of the line through the points (0, 5) and (-3, -4)

Answer: Slope is

So the slope is also . Now any perpendicular slope is simply the negative reciprocal of . So negate to get . Now flip to get

So any perpendicular slope is
