See a solution process below:

Explanation:

This equation is in slope intercept form. The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is: y = color(red)(m)x + color(blue)(b)

Where color(red)(m) is the slope and color(blue)(b) is the y-intercept value.

y = color(red)(3/5)x + color(blue)(5)

Therefore, the slope is: color(red)(m = 3/5)
