    -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.
