The equation of a line with slope m and passing through a point P(a, b), is given by :
(y – a) = m(x – b)
(x – b) = m(y – a)
(x – a) = m(y – b)
(y – b) = m(x – a)

Answer
By point-slope form,
Equation of line :
y - y1 = m (x - x1)
Thus, equation of line passing through (a, b) and slope m is :
y - b = m(x - a)
Hence, option 4 is the correct option.
