To express the equation \(-9y - 19 = 2x\) in a more useful form, we can solve for \(y\) in terms of \(x\).
Starting with the original equation:
\[ -9y - 19 = 2x \]
First, isolate the term with \(y\):
\[ -9y = 2x + 19 \]
Next, divide both sides by \(-9\):
\[ y = -\frac{2}{9}x - \frac{19}{9} \]
Now, we have \(y\) expressed in terms of \(x\). This is the slope-intercept form of the equation, where the slope is \(-\frac{2}{9}\) and the y-intercept is \(-\frac{19}{9}\).
