Question

rewrite the following equation in slope - intercept form.
$x + 19y = -2$
write your answer using integers, proper fractions, and improper fractions in simplest form.

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate the y-term

Subtract $x$ from both sides.
$19y = -x - 2$

Step2: Solve for y

Divide all terms by 19.
$y = \frac{-x - 2}{19} = -\frac{1}{19}x - \frac{2}{19}$

Answer:

$y = -\frac{1}{19}x - \frac{2}{19}$
