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

1 Answer

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

Explanation:

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

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