1) Picking points G( 14,13) , H (-11, 0) and R(-3,7) , S(-4,-5) let's find their slopes using the slope formula

And R(-3,7) , S(-4,-5)

Since the condition to be parallel is share the same slope, and to be perpendicular one line must have the reciprocal and opposite slope in comparison to the first one. We can state that neither that line is parallel nor perpendicular.

3) So the answer is GH is not parallel nor perpendicular.
