The slope of the line through those points is (7-4)/(3-2) = 3. That means your perpendicular line must have slope -1/3.
Pick a line with the equation
y = -x/3 + b
and choose b so that it goes through the point that you want.
You must not have stated the question inrrectly. A line that is perpendicular to one passing both of your points cannot go through both of them again. you must choose a single point for it to go through.
