Answer:

y = 5x + 2

Explanation:

The point-slope form of the equation of the line can be used to advantage. For slope m through point (h, k), that equation is ...

... y = m(x -h) +k

For your point and slope, this is ...

... y = 5(x -1) +7

Simplifying gives the desired equation.

... y = 5x +2
