    We need to find dot products of 2 vectors:

    u·v = x1*x2 + y1*y2

    u·v = 2 * (-6) + 3*4 = - 12 + 12 = 0

    Another way to write dot product u·v = |u|*|v|*cos α.

    Because the do product = 0, we can write

    |u|*|v|*cos α = 0.

    That means cos α = 0, and thus α=90⁰, so vectors v and u are orthogonal.
