What is the question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

find the slope of the line y=-5x-1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the slope is five down, one right -5/1

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

A line in slope-intercept form has the equation y = mx + b, where m = slope, and b is the y-intercept. Your line is in that form, so just look at its equation, compare it with y = mx + b and find the value of m in your line. That is the slope.
