We can plug it into the slope-intercept form of a line.

Explanation:

We know that the equation of a line is #y=mx+b# with m being the slope and b being the y-intercept.

We can plug in your slope (#1/4#) and your y-intercept (#-3#).

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

This simplifies to #y=1/4 x-3#.

This is your equation of the line!
