#y-3=2(x-5)#

Explanation:

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

Using the given values of #(color(red)(x),color(red)(y))=(color(red)(5),color(red)(3))# and #color(blue)(m)=color(blue)(2)#
#color(white)("XXX")y-color(red)(3) = color(blue)(2)(x-color(red)(5))#
