A student is attempting to convert a slope-intercept equation into standard form. Which of the following statements best applies to the sample math given below?

Given y = 1/4x + 2, I first isolate the constant. After doing so, I get the equation -1/4x + y = 2. To remove the fraction, I multiply by –4, giving the equation x - 4y = 2, which is the final answer.

A.the work shown to isolate the constant is not correct
B.the work shown to remove all fractions is not correct
C.the final answer is not in standard form
D.the work shown is correct
