Check the slopes: if they are the same, they are parallel and if they are OPPOSITE reciprocals, they are perpendicular...otherwise, they are neither:
Rise/run
(-3-3)/(2-5)=-6/-3=2
(2-3)/(10-8)=-1/2
These are opposite (signs) and reciprocals of each other (1/n), so they are PERPENDICULAR!

If you let the lines go forever, they will become perpendicular but if you just put a point where each line segment should be, the lines would be neither perpendicular or parallel.

If the lines are extended through those points they are perpendicular. That is they will cross at right angles.

I graphed it out, and as far as I can tell, they're intersecting (they cross), so, neither.
