Answer

C

Work Step by Step

We want to rewrite the given equation, which is in slope-intercept form, in standard form, which is given by the formula: $Ax + By = C$ First, we add the $x$ term to each side of the equation to isolate the constant on the right of the equation: $\frac{3}{4}x + y = 2$ The equation is now in standard form; however, we are asked to use integers. We have one fraction in this equation. To get rid of this fraction, we multiply all terms by the denominator of the fraction: $4(\frac{3}{4})x + 4y = 4(2)$ Multiply out all terms to simplify: $\frac{12}{4}x + 4y = 8$ Simplify the fraction: $3x + 4y = 8$ This answer corresponds to option $C$.
