When a line is translated in the coordinate plane, the slope of the line remains unchanged.
In this case, the line \( y = 7x - 3 \) has a slope of 7. After translating the line 5 units to the left and 2 units up, the new equation of the line will still have the same slope.
Thus, the correct statement is:
The slope of the translated line remains 7.
