Question

ABCD is a rectangle where points C and D have coordinates (−2, 0) and (2, 0), respectively. If the area of the rectangle is 24, what is the best way to describe the equation of the line AB?

• A. y = 3
• B. y = 6
• C. y = −3
• D. y = −6

Hint:

For rectangles symmetric about the x-axis, the height determines the vertical location of lines parallel to the base. Use the area formula to calculate dimensions efficiently.
