The given equation is 9 + 272x = -32y.

To find the slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), we need to solve for y.

Subtracting 9 from both sides, we get:
272x = -32y - 9

Next, divide both sides by -32:
(272x) / -32 = (y) + (9 / -32)
-17x/2 = y - 9/32

Rearranging the equation, we get:
y = -17x/2 + 9/32

So, the slope of the equation is -17/2 and the y-intercept is (0, 9/32).
