Answer

$y=\frac{1}{4}x-1$

Work Step by Step

$y=mx+b$ The slope is $\frac{1}{4}$, therefore the coefficient of $x$ will be $\frac{1}{4}$. ($m=\frac{1}{4}$) $(1,-\frac{3}{4})$ is a point of the line (if $x=1$ then $y=-\frac{3}{4}$) $-\frac{3}{4}=\frac{1}{4}*1+b$ Therefore $ b=-1$ So the equation is $y=\frac{1}{4}x-1$
