The points are \"(1, and \"(5,.

Standard form of line equation using the points \"(x_{1}, and \"(x_{2}, is \"(y-y_{1})=\\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}(x-x_{1})\".

Substitute \"(x_{1}, and \"(x_{2}, in the line equation.

\"(y-(-3))=\\frac{7-(-3)}{5-1}(x-1)\"

\"(y+3)=\\frac{7+3}{4}(x-1)\"

\"(y+3)=\\frac{10}{4}(x-1)\"

\"(y+3)=\\frac{10}{4}x-\\frac{10}{4}\"

\"y=\\frac{5}{2}x-\\frac{5}{2}-3\"

\"y=\\frac{5}{2}x-(\\frac{5}{2}+3)\"

\"y=\\frac{5}{2}x-(\\frac{5+6}{2})\"

\"y=\\frac{5}{2}x-(\\frac{11}{2})\".

The function is \"f(x)=\\frac{5}{2}x-(\\frac{11}{2})\".
