First let's find the slope of the straight line


\begin{gathered} m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) \\ \\ m=(-13-1)/(6-4) \\ m=(-14)/(2) \\ m=-7 \end{gathered}

Now let's calculate the intersection


\begin{gathered} b=y-mx \\ b=1-(-7)(4) \\ b=1+28 \\ b=29 \end{gathered}
y=-7x+29

The full equation would be y=-7x+29
