As below.

Intercept form of linear equation is $\frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{b} = 1$ $x/a + y/b = 1$

$2 x + y = 19$ $2x + y = 19$

$\frac{x}{\frac{19}{2}} + \frac{y}{19} = 1$ $x / (19/2) + y / 19 = 1$

x-intercept $= \frac{19}{2}$ $= 19/2$ , y-intercept $= 19$ $= 19$

Two points on the line are $(\frac{19}{2}, 0), (0, 19)$ $(19/2,0), (0,19)$

Now we can plot the points on the graph and form the line.
