Correct answer: 9x -14y = -6

Linear equation: y = ax + b

Let's replace (x,y) with (1/2, 3/4) and (4,3) and have the following equations:

1/2a + b = 3/4 (1)

4a + b = 3 (2)

=> (2) b = 3 - 4a

(1) 1/2a + 3 - 4a = 3/4

=> (1) 7/2a = 9/4

(2) b = 3- 4a

=> (1) a = 9/14

(2) b = 3/7

So we have the equation: y= 9/14x + 3/7

Multiple both sides with 14

=> 14y = 9x + 6

=> 9x -14y = -6
