I'm going to pretend that the equation should have been
3x-5y=3 or 3x-5y+3=0 ... either way, it's the same slope.
Put the equation into slope intercept form. y = mx + b. In this form. m = slope and b = y-intercept.
3x-5y = 3
-5y = 3 - 3x
y = 3/-5 - 3x/-5
y = -3/5 + 3/5x
y = 3/5x - 3/5
3/5 is your slope.

I assume you mean 3x - 5y + 3 = 0. To find the slope, solve the equation for y. First, get the y term alone on one side of the equation. Subtract 3x and subtract 3 on both sides of the equation.
3x - 5y + 3 = 0
-3x - 3 - 3x - 3
-----------------------------
- 5y = - 3x - 3
Now to get y alone, get rid of multiplying y by -5 by dividing both sides by -5.
-5y = -3x - 3
----- ----- -----
-5 -5 -5
This gives you y = 3/5 x + 3/5. The number in front of the x is the slope, so 3/5 is the slope of the line. This equation is in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line.
Sorry, but when I previewed this, the divisions did not line up as they were typed.

The slope form of equation is y = mx + c
We have to first bring the given eqation to this form
The given equation is 3x - 5y + 3 = 0
Now transposing, 5y = 3x + 3
or y = 3/5(x) + 3/5
Hence the slope of the given equatin is 3/5

Write in slope-intercept form: y = mx + b
where "m" is the slope and point (0,b) is the y-intercept.
3x - 5y + 3 = 0
3x + 3 = 5y
y = (3x + 3) / 5
y = (3/5)x + (3/5)
Here, m = 3/5

Convert to slope intercept form: Y = mX + b. In this case,
Y = (3/5)X + 3, so slope is 3/5

because slope is -a/b and the equation is in standart form:
ax +by = c the slope is 3/5.

The trick is to get the equation in the form:
y = ax + b
The "a" will be your slope.
