Answer:y = 4x - 5

Explanation:

point slope form is in the form of y = mx + b. m is the slope so we plug thatin and have the equation y = 4x + b. since we also have a point on the line we can plug those into the equation too. -1 = 4 * 1 + b.

now we simplify that through algebra.

-1 = 4 + b

b= -5

sp we get b and we can say the equation is y = 4x -5
