Answer:the slope is - 3

Explanation:

The given equation of the line is

y + 1 = -3(x - 5)

The line contains the points (5, -1)

The given equation of the line is expressed in the point slope form which is expressed as

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Where

y1 represents the initial value of y

x1 represents the initial value of x

m represents the slope. Therefore,

The slope of the given equation is

- 3
