$m=9/2$
Y Intercept $= 1/2$

The given equation is in the general form $ax+by+c = 0$
Solve it to slope intercept form
$-2y = -1-9x$
$y=(-1)/(-2)-9/(-2)x$
$y=(1)/(2)+9/2x$

The co-efficient of $x$ is slope of the curve $m=9/2$
The constant term $(1/2)$ is Y-intercept

How do you find the slope and y intercept for 9x - 2y = -19x - 2y = -1?
