The line contains the point (1,3) and has the slope 4. We need to find the equation of the line. Point-Slope Form of a Line: The equation of the line that passes through the point (x1,y1) and slope m is given by
yy1=m(xx1)
Here the point is given by (x1,y1)=(1,3), that means x1=1,y1=3 and the slope m=4.
Now, using the above formula the equation of the line is
yy1=m(xx1)

y3=4(x1)
y3=4x4
4xy=3+4
4xy=1
Therefore, the equation of the line is 4x-y=1
