Answer:


\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{a = - 1.75}}}}}

Explanation:


\sf{ ( - 3)/(4) = (3a)/(7) }

Do cross multiplication


\dashrightarrow{ \sf{3a * 4 = 7 * ( - 3)}}


\longrightarrow{ \sf{12a = - 21}}

Divide both sides by 12


\longrightarrow{ \sf{ (12a)/(12) = ( - 21)/(12)}}

Calculate


\longrightarrow{ \sf{a = - 1.75}}

Hope I helped!

Best regards! :D
