Answer:

y - 4 = (1/3)(x - 9) or x - 3y = -3

Explanation:

Here we're told that the slope is 1/3 and that (9, 4) is a point on the line. Use the point-slope formula y - k = m(x - h). Substitute 4 for k, 9 for h and 1/3 for m:

y - 4 = (1/3)(x - 9) (point-slope formula)

3y - 12 = x - 9 (standard form of the same equation) = >

-12 + 9 = x - 3y, or x - 3y = -3 (standard form)
