RS is perpendicular to MN and PQ.

We can use the slopes of these lines to determine the answer.
Slope is given by the formula
m=.

Using the coordinates for M and N, we have:
m=.

Since PQ is parallel to MN, its slope will be as well, since parallel lines have the same slope.

Using the coordinates for points T and V in the slope formula, we have
m=.

This is not parallel to MN or PQ, since the slopes are not the same.
We can also say that it is not perpendicular to these lines; perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals (they are opposite signs and are flipped). This is not true of TV either.

Using the coordinates for R and S in the slope formula, we have
m=. Comparing this to the slope of RS, it is flipped and the sign is opposite; they are negative reciprocals, so they are perpendicular.

Polynomials are linear combinations of positive integer powers. For example,

$x^{100}+30x^2-\sqrt 2\,x+21$

is a polynomial, but

$-x^{-1}-4x^\pi+x^{3/2}$

is not.

(In case you're unfamiliar with the term, a linear combination of two quantities is the sum of scaled versions of those quantities, e.g. a general linear combination of $a$ and $b$ is $k_1a+k_2b$ , where $k_1,k_2$ are any numbers.)
