Question

What is the slope of a line with the equation (y + 3) = 5(x - 2)?

Answer 1

`(y+3)=5(x-2)` has a slope of `5`

Explanation:

The general slope point form of a line through a point `(color(red)(barx),color(red)(bary))` with slope `m` is
`color(white)("XXX")y-color(red)(bary)=color(blue)(m)(x-color(red)(barx))`

From this general form we can see that the given equation has a slope of `color(blue)(5)`
