The length of a rectangle is shown below:

On a coordinate grid from negative 6 to positive 6 on the x-axis and on the y-axis, two points A and B are shown. Point A is on ordered pair negative 4, 5, and the point B is on ordered pair 5, 5.

If the area of the rectangle to be drawn is 90 square units, where should points C and D be located, if they lie vertically below A and B, to make this rectangle?

C(4, −5), D(−3, −5)
C(5, −4), D(−4, −4)
C(5, −5), D(−4, −5)
C(−5, 5), D(−5, −4)
