Answer

$y=2x+1$

Work Step by Step

Lets assume that Equation for tangent line is : $y=ax+b$ İf this line is tangent to any $f(x)$ at $(x,y)$ point then $f’(x)=a$ İn this problem $f\left( x\right) =4x-x^{2}$ and coordinate is $(1,3)$ so $a=f'\left( 4x-x^{2}\right) =4-2x\Rightarrow f'\left( 1\right) =2=a$ $y=a\times x+b\Rightarrow b=y-a\times x=3-2\times 1=1$ So the equation is $y=2x+1$
