5x - y = -2

5x = y - 2 (-2 is the offset of the sloping line)

So for every unit up the y-axis, the sloping line's co-ordinate is 5 units to the right on the x-axis. the slope is 1 in 5 or converting to angular dimensions, tan O = 1/5 or O = ?.

This is not right. The slope is 5 if y is plotted upwards as normal. For every increase of 1 in x, y increases by 5.
