The slope is 5 because parallel lines always have the same slope.

Hi there!

The slope of this line is 5*. Therefore, the slope of any line that is parallel to y = 5x + 3 is 5 as well (since parallel lines have the same slope).

* In a linear formula in standard form y = ax + b the a represents the slope of the line. In other words: in a linear formula in above form, the slope is the number in front of x.
