The easiest way to find the slope of an equation like 3x-5y=33x−5y=3
is to re-arrange it into a slope-point form (y-y_0) = m(x-x_0)(y−y0)=m(x−x0) where it is really only the mm slope we are interested in.

3x-5y=33x−5y=3

rarr -5y = -3x +3→−5y=−3x+3

rarr y = 3/5x -3/5→y=35x−35

rarr (y-0) = 3/5 (x-1)→(y−0)=35(x−1)

and the slope is 3/535
