What is the standard form of the equation y - 3x = -7?

y + 7 = -3x
y + 3x = -7
y - 7 = 3x
y - 3x = -7

The correct answer is: y - 3x = -7

In the standard form of an equation, the variable terms are placed before the constant term, with a positive coefficient for the x variable. In this equation, the correct standard form would be y = 3x - 7. Options A, B, and C all have some format of the constant term before the variable term, which is not the standard form. Additionally, options B and C both have a positive coefficient for the x variable, which is incorrect. Therefore, option D is the only correct answer as it follows the standard form correctly.
