Answer:

C) a= -1, b=5, c= -7

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the values of a, b and c we must first write the equation in the form

ax²+bx+c=0 where a b and c are the coefficients.

Therefore, -x² +5x=7 can also be written as:

-x²+5x-7=0

a= -1 ( coefficient of x²)

b=5 (coefficient of x)

c= -7 ( the constant in the equation)

Answer:

a=-1, b=5 and c=-7

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following equation:

[tex]-x^{2} + 5x = 7[/tex] → [tex]-x^{2} + 5x - 7 = 0[/tex]

Given the equation of a parabola: [tex]ax^{2} +bx + c = 0[/tex]. By comparison, we know that:

a=-1, b=5 and c=-7

So the correct option is Option C.
