This is already solved for y. Assuming you want to solve for x:

y = -5x - 1

-5x - 1 = y

-5x = y + 1

x = (y + 1) / (-5)

x = - (y + 1) / 5

If, in the original equation, you want a specific number for y, you must first provide a specific value for x, then do the calculations. "y" has different values, for different values of "x".
