y - 5x is an expression, not an equation. As a result, it cannot describe a line.

If you mean: y = -5x then the slope of the line is -5 and there is no y intercept

The slope is -5. y=-5x comes from y=mx+b. Where m=slope, and b is the y-intercept.
a like that is parallel to the line y - 5x = 10 will have the same slope as y - 5x = 10. the slope of a line is determined by the standard form of a linear equation y = mx + b where m is the slope. we need to get our equation to look like the standard form. y - 5x = 10 y = 10 + 5x (adding 5x to both sides) comparing this to our standard form y = mx + b the number in front of the x is our slope. in this particular equation m = 5 the slope of a like parallel to this line will be the same, a slope of 5
The slope is 5.
