Answer: choice B

Explanation:

If we put the above parameters in "slope-intercept" form, it would read...

y=mx+b

y=200x+50

Now rearrange the above equation into "standard" form......

-200x+y=50......subtract 200x from both sides

200x-y=-50...multiply both sides by (-1); standard form

equations cannot begin with a negative

integer
