Hello and Sorry for the late reply :-/

point slope form can be represented as:
y - k = m(x - h)

where the point (h, k) is a point on the line
and m is the slope of the line

you have been given that a point is
(1, 4) = (h, k)
and slope is
-3 = m

be careful of negatives and plugging those numbers in should hopefully get you to your answer :)

again, sorry about the late reply :(
but I hope that I was able to help! ^_^
