To find the slope and the y-intercept of the equation \(9 + 272x = -32y\), we first need to rearrange it into the slope-intercept form \(y = mx + b\), where \(m\) is the slope and \(b\) is the y-intercept.

Starting with the given equation:

\[
9 + 272x = -32y
\]

We can move \(9\) and \(272x\) to the other side:

\[
-32y = -272x - 9
\]

Next, we divide every term by \(-32\):

\[
y = \frac{272}{32}x + \frac{9}{32}
\]

Now, simplify \(\frac{272}{32}\):

\[
\frac{272}{32} = 8.5
\]

So the equation in slope-intercept form is:

\[
y = 8.5x + \frac{9}{32}
\]

From this, we find:

- The slope \(m\) is \(8.5\).
- The y-intercept \(b\) is \(\frac{9}{32}\).

Now, expressing the y-intercept as an ordered pair (where \(x=0\)) gives us:

\[
(0, \frac{9}{32})
\]

Thus, the final answers are:

- The slope is **8.5**.
- The y-intercept is **(0, \frac{9}{32})**.

I apologize for any inaccuracies. Let's go through the process again step by step.

Starting with the equation:

\[
9 + 272x = -32y
\]

We need to solve for \(y\) by isolating it on one side. First, we rearrange the equation:

\[
-32y = -272x - 9
\]

Now, divide by \(-32\) to solve for \(y\):

\[
y = \frac{272}{32}x + \frac{9}{32}
\]

Now let's simplify \(\frac{272}{32}\):

\[
\frac{272}{32} = 8.5
\]

This gives us the equation in slope-intercept form:

\[
y = 8.5x + \frac{9}{32}
\]

Thus:

- The slope \(m\) is **\(\frac{272}{32} = 8.5\)**.
- The y-intercept \(b\) is **\(\frac{9}{32}\)**.

The y-intercept as an ordered pair is:

\[
\left(0, \frac{9}{32}\right)
\]

To summarize:

- The slope is **8.5**.
- The y-intercept is **(0, \frac{9}{32})**.

I apologize for the mistakes in my previous calculations. Let's go through the problem step by step again.

The equation we start with is:

\[
9 + 272x = -32y
\]

To find the slope and y-intercept, we first need to rearrange the equation into slope-intercept form \(y = mx + b\).

1. **Move the terms around to get \(y\) by itself**:

Start by subtracting \(272x\) from both sides:

\[
-32y = -272x - 9
\]

2. **Next, divide everything by -32** to isolate \(y\):

\[
y = \frac{272}{32}x + \frac{9}{32}
\]

3. **Simplify \(\frac{272}{32}\) and \(\frac{9}{32}\)**:

Let's simplify \(\frac{272}{32}\):

\[
\frac{272 \div 16}{32 \div 16} = \frac{17}{2} \quad (\text{which is } 8.5\text{ as a decimal})
\]

However, let's keep it as a fraction:

\[
y = \frac{17}{2}x + \frac{9}{32}
\]

4. **Identify the slope and y-intercept**:

- The slope \(m\) is \(\frac{17}{2}\).
- The y-intercept \(b\) is \(\frac{9}{32}\).

5. **Write down the y-intercept as an ordered pair**:

The y-intercept is when \(x = 0\):

\[
\left(0, \frac{9}{32}\right)
\]

To summarize:

- The slope is **\(\frac{17}{2}\)**.
- The y-intercept is **\(\left(0, \frac{9}{32}\right)\)**.

Thank you for your patience, and I apologize for the previous errors.
