Hint: There are two ways to do this. One way is to find the slopes of all of the lines and see if any two slopes are perpendicular to one another. Another way to do it is to find the distances between each pair of points and see if the squares of two distances add to a square of another distance (ie use the converse of the pythagorean theorem).
