Plotting the vertices of a rectangle in the standard (x,y) coordinate plane points, suggests length of the rectangle is 7 and width is 4.
The point (2,2) is 2 units above x-axis which is half of the width. If the line is parallel to x-axis it will partitions the interior of this rectangle into 2 regions that have equal areas. Slope of line parallel to x-axis is 0.
IMO A
