First, find the slope of the line on which the two points lie:
m = (2 - 5) / (4 - 2) = -3 / 2 = -1.5
A line perpendicular to a line with slope m will have a slope -1/m
In this case, m(perpendicular) = 2/3

the slope of a line is y2-y1/x2-x1
=5-2/2-4
=3/-2 that syour slop
the perpendicular is 2/3

The sloope of a line is definded as:
(x1- x2)/(y1-y2) = (2-4)/(5-2) = -2/3
The slopes of two perpendicular lines m1 and m2 are related as follws:
m1m2 = -1,
implies m2 = -1/m1 = -1/(-2/3) = 3/2

figure it out by doing
(y2-y1)
divided by
(x2-x1)
thats ur slope
