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. The point A is on ordered pair 1, 2, and the point B is on ordered pair negative 3, 2. A straight line joins the points A and B.
If the area of the rectangle to be drawn is 12 square units, where should points C and D be located, if they lie vertically below the line that connects B and A, to make this rectangle?
a
C(−3, −2), D(1, −2)
b
C(−3, −1), D(1, −1)
c
C(−3, −4), D(1, −4)
d
C(−3, −5), D(1, −5)
