=> 3x+5y=19
=> y= -(3/5)x + 19/5
differrentiating both sides wrt x..we get
=>dy/dx = -3/5
as you must be knowing slope of a line is its differential wr.hence
slope is -3/5

3x + 5y = 19 ---> y = (-3x + 19) / 5
--> y = (-3/5)x + (19/5)
so your slope is going to be the coeffiecent upon the X, so the slope is going to be === -3/5

-(3/5)
(3x + 5y = 19
5y=-3x+19
y=-3/5*x + 19/5
now compare this with general formula ,y=m*x+c,
where m=slope
here,m=-3/5=slope)

5y=-3x+19
y=-3/5y+6.333
Slope: - 3/5
