Let AA be the area of the region in the first quadrant bounded by the line y=12xy = \frac{1}{2} x, the xx-axis, and the ellipse 19x2+y2=1\frac{1}{9} x^2 + y^2 = 1. Find the positive number mm such that AA is equal to the area of the region in the first quadrant bounded by the line y=mxy = mx, the yy-axis, and the ellipse 19x2+y2=1\frac{1}{9} x^2 + y^2 = 1.
