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

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 $-1$ .

$x-4y=-3$
