1. **State the problem:** We have line C with equation $y=4x-1$ and line D is perpendicular to line C. They intersect at point $(1,3)$. We need to find the equation of line D.
2. **Recall the slope rule for perpendicular lines:** If two lines are perpendicular, the slope of one line is the negative reciprocal of the other. The slope of line C is $4$, so the slope of line D is $-\frac{1}{4}$.
3. **Use point-slope form:** The equation of a line with slope $m$ passing through point $(x_1,y_1)$ is
$$y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$$
Here, $m = -\frac{1}{4}$ and $(x_1,y_1) = (1,3)$.
4. **Substitute values:**
$$y - 3 = -\frac{1}{4}(x - 1)$$
5. **Simplify:**
$$y - 3 = -\frac{1}{4}x + \frac{1}{4}$$
6. **Add 3 to both sides:**
$$y = -\frac{1}{4}x + \frac{1}{4} + 3$$
7. **Combine constants:**
$$y = -\frac{1}{4}x + \frac{1}{4} + \frac{12}{4} = -\frac{1}{4}x + \frac{13}{4}$$
**Final answer:**
$$y = -\frac{1}{4}x + \frac{13}{4}$$
