LM has a slope of 3/2
KL has a slope of -2/3
MN has a slope of -2/3
m(LM) * m(KL)
(3/2) * (-2/3) = -1.
m(LM) * m(MN)
(3/2) * (-2/3) = -1
If the products of the slopes of 2 lines is -1, then the lines are perpendicular.

for angle M, get lengths of MN, ML, NL and see if Pyth. theorem applies
MN² = 3² + 2² = 13
LM² = 3² + 2² = 13
NL² = 5² + 1² = 26
YES, 13+13=26
same for L
LM² = 3² + 2² = 13
LK² = 6² + 4² = 52
KM² = 4² + 7² = 65
YES
distance between two pointsd = √(Δx² + Δy² )
or
d² = Δx² + Δy²
