If the triangle has a right angle, then it is a right triangle. Perpendicular lines form a right angle

It looks like a right angle is in it, but we cannot assume that. So we have to find the slope of the lines that could be perpendicular and see if they are negative reciprocals to each other to prove they are perpendicular thus proving there's a right angle making it a right triangle.
