Yes. So... your total line length is actually 9 feet? 3 feet to the tap and 6 feet beyond that?
That makes our equation...
9=(14-(3 x 0.5) -1) /R
9R=11.5
11.5 total resistance for 9 feet.
Let's say we use 3/16 diameter for 2 feet.
11.5 - 6 = 5.5
If we use 1/4" for the rest it would be 7' X 0.85 = 5.95
5.95 + 5.5 = 11.45 round it up and you get 11.5
So... 7 feet of 1/4"ID and then splice 2 feet of 3/16"ID for the final run to the faucet.
