#y=43x-167#

I'm assuming you meant that the gradient was #43#:

The standard equation of a straight line with gradient #m# and intercepting the y axis at #c# is:

#y=mx+c#

Since the line passes through the point #(4,3)#, we can form the following equation and solve for #c#:

#5 = 43(4) + c#
#c = -167#

Hence,
#y=43x - 167#
