When the equation of the line is given in such a form (y is explicitly expressed via x),  the slope is the coefficient at x.


So, the slope is -5 in your problem.


To find y-intercept, simply put x= 0 in the equation of the line.


You will get  then for y-intercept the value of -1.

This problem is not "to think".

It is to test if you know the definitions.
