The slope is $- \frac{3}{1}$ $-3/1$ or in short $- 3$ $-3$

Explanation:

It is necessary to change the equation to the $y = m x + b$ $y= mx + b$ form. This is called the slope-intercept form (appropriately so as it tells you the slope and the y-intercept of the line).

Use the commutative property of addition to transform the equation.

This gives

$y = - 3 x + 5$ $y = -3x + 5$ where $m = - 3$ $m = -3$ and $b = + 5$ $b = + 5$

$m$ $m$ is the slope of the line so

The slope = $- 3$ $-3$
