Answer:
4y=-3x+16

Explanation:

For there to be infinitely many solutions, the equations must represent the same graph.

The points
(0,4) and
(4,1) lie on the line. So, the slope is
(4-1)/(0-4)=-(3)/(4). As the
y-intercept is
(0,4), the equation is
y=-(3)/(4)x+4.

Multiplying both sides by
4 yields
4y=-3x+16.
