can someone confirm my answer i believe its c
OpenStudy (aripotta):
it can't be a, b, or c because the "B" in each of those is negative
OpenStudy (aripotta):
i mean "A" not "B"
OpenStudy (aripotta):

it's d
OpenStudy (aripotta):
standard form: Ax + By = C. A cannot be a fraction or a negative
OpenStudy (aripotta):
so you could automatically eliminate a, b, AND c. you didn't have to do any math for this lol
OpenStudy (aripotta):
does that make sense?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
not really

ok, standard form is Ax + By = C. "A" cannot be a fraction. look at the choices, none of them have "A" as a fraction. "A" cannot be negative. look at the choice, all but d have "A" as a negative number. so the answer could only be d
