Answer:

y = 1/3x + 4

Explanation:

The slope intercept form is y=mx+b so what we need to do is fill in the blanks. M is the slope and we know the 1/3 is the slope. (0,4) is basically meaning that the x-value is 0 and the y-value is 4, and when that's the case it means 4 is the y-intercept. Now we can put the information together y = 1/3x +4 is the equation.

Hope this helps and have a great day!
