For (x,y) on a straight line and a fixed point (a,b) also on the line, the constant slope, m is
y - b x - a = m
(that is, the change in y divided by the corresponding change in x)

For the given example, we have
y - 3 x - 1 = 4

Simplified as
y−3=4(x−1)
for point-slope form

and
y=4x−1
for point-intercept form
