Only answer if you are also providing an explanation. Thanks.

This still doesn't make sense. Can anyone else provide an explanation?

Slope of the perpendicular line is the negative of the inverse of the slope of the line:
y=-(5/2)x+b
solve for b by plugging in the point 3,2
3=-(5/2)2+b
8=b
y=-(5/2)x +8

Sorry, doing homework of my own kids is something I will not do, why should anybody do yours, especially when you bring an attitude with it? Afraid you have to do your own homework, otherwise, you do not learn.
