(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)
