Answer:
yes, the lines are perpendicular
Step-by-step explanation:
A graph of the line through the points (8, -4) and (3, 6) shows it has a slope of -2. That is the opposite reciprocal of the slope of 1/2 that the given line has.
When two lines have opposite reciprocal slopes, they are perpendicular.
The lines are perpendicular.

If you like you can compute the slope using the slope equation:
m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)
m = (6 -(-4))/(3 -8) = 10/-5 = -2
