An octagon can not have all right angles.

Right angles are 90 degree angles. A rectangle is so called because it has 4 rect-angles, meaning 4 right angles.

A regular octagon has eight sides and eight angles each of 135 degrees.

If you graph the points you provide, you get the straight angle I graphed for you, see below. My guess is that the coordinates for D and E are: D=(-5,-5), E=(0,-5)
