Write the given quadratic equation in standard form. Identify a, b, and c. $-4x^2+x=8$

a = - 4, b = 0, c = - 8

a = - 4, b = 1, c = 8

a = - 4, b = 1, c = - 8

a = 2, b = 1, c = 0

Verified step by step guidance

Start by writing the given quadratic equation: $-4x^2 + x = 8$.

To write the equation in standard form, which is $ax^2 + bx + c = 0$, we need to move all terms to one side of the equation.

Subtract 8 from both sides to get: $-4x^2 + x - 8 = 0$.

Now, the equation is in standard form: $-4x^2 + x - 8 = 0$.

Identify the coefficients: $a = -4$, $b = 1$, and $c = -8$.
