If the gradient of one line is m, then any line that's perpendicular to it must have a gradient \frac{-1}{m}. Calculate the gradients of both lines, and see if they are related like this!

The quickest way to tell if a line is perpendicular is to find the slope, so you'll need to get the slope for both lines

PQ = ((-8) - (-9))/(2 - 0) = 1/2

and, for reference, a perpendicular slope is the negative reciprocal of the original (so we're looking for -2)

RS = (3 - 4)/(3 - 1) = -1/2

so, no, these two lines aren't perpendicular because the slope of RS is only the negative of PQ, not the negative <em>reciprocal</em>.
