what is the area of the figure formed when the points j (-1,-2), k (-1,-6), l(-5,-6), and m(-5,-2) are graphed and connected in order?
16 units
24 units
20 units
32 units

Explanation:

Step1: Find length of JK

Points J(-1,-2) and K(-1,-6) have same x-coordinate. Length = |-2 - (-6)| = 4.

Step2: Find length of KL

Points K(-1,-6) and L(-5,-6) have same y-coordinate. Length = |-1 - (-5)| = 4.

Step3: Calculate area of rectangle

Area = length × width = 4 × 4 = 16.

Answer:

16 units
