Right angles are created by perpendicular lines. You first have to find the slopes of the lines. You know lines are perpendicular when the slopes are negative reciprocals. For example: If you find the slope of Line AB to be -2, in order for the lines to form right angles, the following line would have to be 1/2. So getting back to your question, calculate the slopes and show they are negative reciprocals. Hope I Helped!
