You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The vertices of triangle rst are (6,-1) s(1,-4) t(-5,6). Prove that rst is a right triangle.

You can find the 3 lengths, then use Pythagoras to check, or
Find the 3 slopes and see if 2 are perpendicular.
==================
State the coordinates of point p such that rstp is a rectangle.
