Answer: They are not perpendicular because their slopes are  not negative reciprocals.

Step-by-step explanation:

For these two lines to be perpendicular, their slopes have to be negative reciprocals.

Slope of FG.

F = (-4, 1)

G = (0, -2)

= (Y₂ - Y₁) / (X₂ - X₁)

= (-2 - 1) / (0 + 4)

= -3/4

Slope of HJ

J = (0 , 4)

H = (-4, -2)

Slope =  (Y₂ - Y₁) / (X₂ - X₁)

= (-2 - 4) / (-4 -0)

= 6/4

= 3/2

The slopes of these lines are not negative reciprocals so these lines are not perpendicular.
