I SWEAR that if you draw it (on graph paper, a.k.a. quadrille paper), the kind of triangle will be OBVIOUS.
 
Possible answers: acute, right, obtuse, isosceles, equilateral.  Look and decide!

Mandeep, did you draw it? What does it look like?
 
Can you calculate its side lengths, using the distance formula on each pair of coordinates?
 
Do these three values happen to satisfy the Pythagorean Theorem?
 
I am trying very hard to cajole you into doing the work and leading yourself to a correct answer.
