Multiply both sides times 4. Move the x and y terms to the left side. Multiply both sides times -1.

Explanation:

Standard form for a linear equation is #"A"x+"B"y="C"#.

#y=1/4x+3/4#

Multiply both sides of the equation by #4#.

#4y=x+3#

Subtract #x# from both sides.

#-x+4y=3#

Multiply both sides times #-1#.

#x-4y=-3#
