In the diagram, a line is drawn through the points A(0,16) and B(8,0). Point P is chosen in the first quadrant on the line through A and B. Points C and D are then chosen on the x-axis and y-axis, respectively, so that PDOC is a rectangle.
(a) Determine the equation of the line through A and B.
(b) Determine the coordinates of the point P so that PDOC is a square.
(c) Determine the coordinates of all points P that can be chosen so that the area of rectangle PDOC is 30.
