Hi there!

Work out the parenthesis.

Combine like terms.

Subtract 9 from both sides.

Subtract 4x from both sides

Divide both sides by -9
Answer:
To convert a decimal to percent, we multiply the decimal by 100. To convert a fraction to decimal, we divide the numerator by the denominator using long division and to convert a fraction to percent, we convert the fraction to decimal and the decimal to percent.
The equation of the line will be given as y = -4x - (- 17/ 4).
<h3>What is an equation?</h3>
It is defined as the relation between two variables, if we plot the graph of the linear equation we will get a straight line.
Given that:-
- The graph of a linear function passes through the points (-1, -1/4) and (1, -3/4).
The equation of the line will be given as:-
y - y₁ = m ( x - x₁)
slope m will be calculated as:-

The equation will be:-
y - (1/4) = -4( x + 1 )
y = -4x - (17/4)
Therefore the equation of the line will be given as y = -4x - (- 17/ 4).
