Answer:

  y -4 = -1/3(x -9)

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form of the equation for a line is useful for this.

  y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . . . line through point (h, k) with slope m

You are given (h, k) = (9, 4) and m = -1/3. Putting these values into the form gives the equation ...

  y -4 = -1/3(x -9)
