Step-by-step explanation

We are given the following information:


\begin{gathered} slope(m)=4 \\ point(x_1,y_1)=(1,5) \end{gathered}

We are required to determine the best form of the equation of a line that should be used.

Since we were given a point and the slope, the best form to use is the point-slope form, given by:


y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

The middle option is correct.
