#(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)#
