What is the equation of the given line in standard form? Use integer coefficients.y = 5/7x - 12 A. -5x + 7y = -12 B. -5x - 7y = -84 C. -5x + 7y = -84 D. 5x + 7y = -84

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):

sorry :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea i narrowed my choices down to b and c just dont exactly know which one my mom said c

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

OpenStudy (aripotta):

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
