Answer:

The required expression is:
\mathbf{(5(x+y))/(-8x)}

Option C is correct option.

Explanation:

We need to find the equation that fits the description.

a) the expression is the quotient of two quantities

The quotient is expressed as
(a)/(b)

where a is numerator and b is denominator

b) The numerator of the expression is product of 5 and the sum of x and y

Sum of x and y = x+y

Product of 5 and Sum of x and y = 5(x+y)

So, Numerator of the expression is 5(x+y)

c) The denominator is the product of negative 8 and x

Product of negative 8 and x = -8x

So, denominator of the expression is -8x

Now, The required expression is:
\mathbf{(5(x+y))/(-8x)}

Option C is correct option.
