Yes...plug your facts into
y = mx + b
to find b...like this...
13 = 5(3) + b
13 = 15 + b
b = -2
so that your equation is
y = 5x - 2

Do you know the formula for slope?

m, for slope;
points on line being (p,w) and (x,y);



-----the point-slope form of equation for a line with slope m and containing point (p,w).
