To put this problem in slope-intercept form, we need to move the coefficient with x in it to the right side of the equation. This can be shown in steps.

1. Subtract 5x on both sides

5x - 19y = 14

โ†’ -19y = 14 - 5x

2. Divide both sides by -19

-19y = 14 - 5x

โ†’ y = 5/19x - 14/19

The slope-intercept form is:

y = 5/19 - 14/19
