Answer

The point slope form is $y-0=\frac{4}{3}(x-1)$.

Work Step by Step

The given points are $(x_1,y_1)=(1,0)$ and $(x_2,y_2)=(4,4)$ Slope $\Rightarrow m =\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ Substitute all the values. $\Rightarrow m =\frac{4-0}{4-1}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow m =\frac{4}{3}$ The point-slope form. $\Rightarrow y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$ Substitute all the values. $\Rightarrow y-0=\frac{4}{3}(x-1)$ Hence, the point slope form is $y-0=\frac{4}{3}(x-1)$.
