#y = -3/2 x + 13/2#

Explanation:

In order to find the equation of a line with a slope of -3/2 that passes through the point (1, -5) you can use the point slope formula.
#(y - y1) = slope(x - x1)#
Plug in your values of the slope, x, and y.
#(y - (-5)) = -3/2(x - 1)#
#y + 5 = -3/2 x + 3/2#
#y = -3/2 x + 13/2#
