That equation has no "solution" ... no single pair of numbers for 'x' and 'y' that makes it true.

In fact, it has an infinite number of them.

Here are a few:

x=1, y=-4

x=2, y=-9

x=-3, y=16

y = -5x + 1 is the equation of a line.

Every point on the line has the coordinates (x,y), and every point satisfies the equation.
