Which equation shows y= 3 4 x− 5 2 in standard form? a 4x−3y=10 b 3x−4y=10 c 3x−4y=−10 d 4x−3y=−10

Mr. jones determined that the equation y = 98 - 16/5 x could be used to predict his students' unit test scores, based on the number of days, x, a student was absent during the unit. what was the meaning of the y-intercept of the function? (by the way the 16/5 is a )
