Because the line you are looking for is perpendicular to the other two lines, its direction vector is a multiple of the cross product of the direction vectors of the other two lines.
The direction vector of the first line is [-4, -7, 3] and the direction vector of the second line is [3, 2, 4] so the cross product is [-34, 25, 13]. We can use any multiple of this for the direction vector, so let's just use a multiple of 1 (that is, we'll use [-34, 25, 13])
Now use the point given to get the parametric equations:
x=2-34t
y=-5+25t
z=13t
where t is the parameter, and 2, -5 and 0 came from the point that the line passes through.
