The equation of line is # 8x+19y = -35 #

The slope of a line passing through two points

# (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2) # is #m= (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) #

The slope of a line passing through two points

# (-2,-1) and (-21,7) # is #m= (7+1)/(-21+2)= -8/19#

The equation of line passing through point #(x_1,y_1)# is

# y-y_1= m (x-x_1) :.# The equation of line passing through point

#(-2,-1)# is # y+1= -8/19 (x+2) or 19y+19 =-8x-16# or

# 8x+19y = -35 # [Ans]
