Prove that the points (3, 0), (6, 4) and (- 1, 3) are vertices of a right-angled isosceles triangle.
Vertices of a triangle ABC are: A(3, 0), B(6, 4) and C (- 1, 3)
Length of side AB =

Since AB = AC, therefore triangle is an isosceles.
BC2 = AB2 + AC2
(√50)2 = (√25)2 + (√25)2
50 = 25 + 25
50 = 50
Since BC2 = AB2 + AC2; therefore given triangle is right angled triangle.
