The fact that the slopes of HF and GH are negative reciprocals proves that FGH is a right triangle.
The slope of HF is given by
m = (-4-4)/(-3-2) = -8/-5 = 8/5
The slope of GH is given by
m = (-4--9)/(-3-5) = (-4+9)/(-3-5) = 5/-8 = -5/8
These are reciprocals and opposite sides. This only occurs if the lines are perpendicular; thus they make a right angle.
