Two ways to do it.
Method 1: Use the slope-intercept formula
y = mx + b
Substitute 4 for m, 1 for x and 3 for y
3 = 4(1) + b
3 = 4 + b
-1 = b
Substitute just -1 for b and 4 for m in y = mx + b,
only this time don't substitute for x or y but leave
them variable:
y = 4x - 1
----------------------
Method 2: Use the point-slope formula:
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
where (x1,y1) = (1,3) and m=4
y - 3 = 4(x - 1)
y - 3 = 4x - 4
y = 4x - 1
