Answer:

3/11

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the slope of the line

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

    = ( 7 - -4)/(2 - 5)

    = (7+4)/(2-5)

   =11/ -3

We want a line that is perpendicular, so it is the negative reciprocal

-1 / ( -11/3)

+3/11

A line that is perpendicular will have a slope that is 3/11
