When you press down on the right side brake pedal, it pushes up on a rod connected to the rear master cylinder. The rod goes into a plunger which pushes fluid down the brake line to the rear brake caliper, which is usually attached to the top of the swingarm. Caliper pistons push the brake pads onto the rear brake rotor blade, creating friction and slowing the motorcycle's forward motion. When foot pressure is released, a return spring returns the brake pedal to the up position. This is the MOST common setup. Other bikes may have linked brakes, front-controlled rear brakes, etc.
