Step 1

Rewrite in slope-intercept form.

Step 1.1

The slope-intercept form is $y = m x + b$ , where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.

$y = m x + b$

Step 1.2

Move all terms not containing $y$ to the right side of the equation.

Step 1.2.1

Add $5 x$ to both sides of the equation.

$y + 3 = 5 x$

Step 1.2.2

Subtract $3$ from both sides of the equation.

$y = 5 x - 3$

Step 2

Using the slope-intercept form, the slope is $5$ .

$m = 5$
