$y = \frac{3}{2} x - \frac{17}{2}$ $y=3/2x-17/2$

Explanation:

Substitute values into the equation $y - y_{1} = m (x - x_{1})$ $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$ and solve it

$y - (- 1) = \frac{3}{2} (x - 5)$ $y-(-1)=3/2(x-5)$
$y + 1 = \frac{3}{2} x - \frac{15}{2}$ $y+1=3/2x-15/2$
$y = \frac{3}{2} x - \frac{17}{2}$ $y=3/2x-17/2$
