Hi there,
.
Here is how to find the equation of the line that goes through these two points.
(2,14) and (1,7)
.
STEP I: Find the slope of the line. The slope m is the change in the y-coordinates divided by the change in the x-coordinates.
.

.
The slope of the line is 7.
.
STEP II: Use the point-slope form to find an equation. You can use either point; I'll use (2,14).
.

.
Simplify.

.
Simplifies, the equation of the line is y=7x.
.
Feel free to email me if you have questions about the solution.
