(4,0), m=- 1/3

Since we are given the slope of the line and a point that the line passes through, we can use point-slope form to find the equation of the line.
Recall that by point-slope form, an equation of a line that passes through (x₁, y₁) and has a slope of m is:
y - y₁ = m(x - x₁).
Since the given line has a slope of -1/3 and passes through (4, 0), it has equation:
y - 0 = (-1/3)(x - 4) ==> y = (-1/3)x + 4/3.
I hope this helps!

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