.
Observe the three side slopes are ,
, and
.
Perpendicular lines slopes are negative reciprocals to each other.
\Therefore, the sides of the triangle and
are perpendicular.
Perpendicular lines intersect at right angles to one another.
\ is a right angle triangle.
Thus, ,
, and
are vertices of right triangle.
