Identifying the values a, b, and c is the first step in using the quadratic formula to find solution(s) to a quadratic equation. what are the values a, b, and c in the following quadratic equation? −5x2 − 9x + 12 = 0

a: a = −9, b = 12, c = 0
b: a = −5, b = −9, c = 12
c: a = 5, b = 9, c = 12
d: a = 9, b = 12, c = 0
