Question

rewrite the following equation in slope-intercept form.
9x + 19y = -13
write your answer using integers, proper fractions, and improper fractions in simplest form.

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate the y-term

Subtract \(9x\) from both sides of the equation \(9x + 19y=-13\) to get \(19y=-9x - 13\).

Step2: Solve for y

Divide every term in \(19y=-9x - 13\) by \(19\). So \(y =-\frac{9}{19}x-\frac{13}{19}\).

Answer:

\(y = -\frac{9}{19}x - \frac{13}{19}\)
