To find the slope of the line given by the equation $5x + 3y = 14$, we first solve for $y$ in terms of $x$. Subtracting $5x$ from both sides gives $3y = -5x + 14$, and then dividing by $3$ gives $y = -\frac{5}{3}x + \frac{14}{3}$. The coefficient of $x$ in this equation, $-\frac{5}{3}$, is the slope of the line.
