If it is a linear relationship I have a doubt about your maths. Or maybe mine. It's late (here) and one or both of us is wrong.

Your x coefficient "5/9" is positive therefore your graph will slope upwards.

But I think it should slope downwards, from (0,50) to (95,0). So the coefficient should be negative. By my reckoning the equation would be y=(-5/9)x + (475/9). Your x=65 would give y=17, therefore 83:17 torque split.

Or, if the known points are actually (0,50) and (100,0) [which makes more sense, 100% duty = FWD] it becomes easier y=(-1/2)x + 50. Then x=65 gives y=18, therefore 82:18 torque split.
Phil you can't have a Duty cycle of 0% or 100%, or it is not a Duty cycle it is DC. It is usually quoted as 5% to 95%.
