Answer:

The slope of the equation is 23

Explanation:

First, we must simplify/solve the equation in order to find the slope

Let's get rid of the parentheses

y - 5 = 23x + 92

Then, combine like terms by moving 5 to the right side of the equation

y - 5 + 5 = 23x + 92 + 5

y = 23x + 97

The slope is always the number that is paired with "x"
