-10x-y=-5

it's a linear equation of the form
y=ax+b

where a is the slope of the line
b is the answer you get for y if you fill in x=0

-10x-y=-5
-10x= -5 +y
-10x+5 = y

so we have y=-10x+5

where -10 is the slope of the line (a)
and b = 5

i don't know what your question exactly is
but i transformed it to the standard form y=ax+b

One equation with two variables doesn't have a fixed solution. You can choose one variable freely and then calculate the second.
