#3/5#

The equation is in the form of: #y=mx +b#
where:
m is the slope

Therefore, the slope is #3/5#

See a solution process below:

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)#
