To find the slope of a linear equation, you need to put it into Slope-Intercept form. Which is y=mx+b. So you will have to rearrange it to this form. So you currently have 2x+5y=-1. Move the 2x to the other side by subtracting. Now you have 5y=-2x-1. You need to get one y, so you divide the whole equation by 5 to get y=-2/5x-1/5. The slope is mx, so it is -2/5x.
