**Question:**
Which of the given shapes has a larger area?

[Graph Description]
- The graph features a coordinate plane with axes labeled \( x \) and \( y \).
- The graph spans both positive and negative directions of the \( x \) and \( y \) axes, covering 12 units on the \( x \)-axis and 12 units on the \( y \)-axis.
- There are two geometric shapes plotted on the graph: a rectangle \( ABCD \) and a triangle \( QRS \).

**Rectangle \( ABCD \):**
- Vertex \( A\) is at (0, 2)
- Vertex \( B\) is at (4, 2)
- Vertex \( C\) is at (4, -2)
- Vertex \( D\) is at (0, -2)

**Triangle \( QRS \):**
- Vertex \( Q\) is at (0, -4)
- Vertex \( R\) is at (6, 4)
- Vertex \( S\) is at (8, -4)

**Options:**
- The rectangle
- The triangle

**Buttons:**
- Back
- Next

**Instructions:**
Analyze the shapes \( ABCD \) and \( QRS \) on the graph and determine which shape has a larger area. Select the appropriate option from "the rectangle" or "the triangle" and click the "Next" button to proceed once you have made your selection.

**Explanation of Diagram:**
- The coordinate plane is divided into a grid with each small square representing one square unit.
- The rectangle \( ABCD \) is plotted in the first and fourth quadrants.
- The triangle \( QRS \) is plotted in the fourth quadrant and extends into the first quadrant.

To determine the areas:
1. **Rectangle \( ABCD\):**
   - Length: \( |4 - 0| = 4 \) units
   - Width: \( |2 - (-2)| = 4 \) units
   - Area: \( 4 \times 4 = 16 \) square units

2. **Triangle \( QRS\):**
   - Base \( QS\): \( |8 - 0| = 8 \) units
   - Height (from point \( R\) to the line \( QS\)): \( |4 - (-4)| = 8 \) units

**Question:**  
What is true about side \( AB \) and side \( AD \)?

**Explanation:**
The image shows a coordinate plane with a rectangle \( ABCD \) drawn on it. The vertices of the rectangle are labeled as \( A \), \( B \), \( C \), and \( D \). The axes are labeled \( x \) (horizontal) and \( y \) (vertical).

- Side \( AB \) is horizontal.
- Side \( AD \) is vertical.

**Multiple Choice Options:**
1. The slopes are the same.
2. The slopes are the opposite reciprocal.

**Graph Details:**
- In the coordinate plane, side \( AB \) runs horizontally from left to right.
- Side \( AD \) runs vertically from bottom to top.
- The rectangle \( ABCD \) is aligned such that side \( AB \) is parallel to the \( x \)-axis and side \( AD \) is parallel to the \( y \)-axis.

**Understanding Slopes:**
- The slope of a horizontal line (like \( AB \)) is 0.
- The slope of a vertical line (like \( AD \)) is undefined.

Based on the above details:
- The slopes are NOT the same since the slope of \( AB \) is 0 and the slope of \( AD \) is undefined.
- The correct statement is: **The slopes are the opposite reciprocal**.

**Answer and Navigation Buttons:**
- The correct option to select is "The slopes are the opposite reciprocal."
- Two navigation buttons are available at the bottom: "Back" and "Next."
