Answer: Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The three coordinates do make a right triangle.  

Given the points the and using the distance formula of a triangle(which is the Pythagorean Theorem), the theorem proves that Steve is correct.

a^2+b^2=c^2

(5)^2=(12)^2=(13)^2

25+144=169

169=169

Therefore proving that Steve is correct
