Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To express the fraction in standard form, we need to have a positive numerator and a positive denominator. Therefore, we can rewrite the given fraction as $\frac{-4}{z} = -\frac{4}{-z}$. However, the answer choices do not have the negative sign outside the fraction, so we need to eliminate those answer choices. Among the remaining options, the only one with the correct numerator and denominator is (C) $\frac{-4}{z}$.
