point slope form:
y - y1 = m(x - x1) where m = slope 

in this case y + 2 = -3(x - 5)
slope = - 3

hope it helps

Hi !


y + 2 = -3(x - 5)


The general equation for a line is y = m·x + n  (where m represents the slope and n represents the intersection with the y axis )

So,express y + 2 = -3(x - 5) as y = -3x + 15 - 2   or y = - 3x + 13


The coefficient of x is -3 so the slope is -3
