How to set size for local image using knitr for markdown?

Question

I have a local image that I would like to include in an. Rmd file which I will then knit and convert to HTML slides with Pandoc. Per this post, this will insert the local image


Is there a way to modify this code to also set the image size?

```{r, out.width = "400px"} 

knitr::include_graphics("path/to/image.png") ```
