(-4, 16), (2, -11)
First, find the slope of the line.
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = [16 - (-11)]/(-4 - 2) = 27/-6 = -27/6
Use the point-slope form of the equation of the line with m = -27/6, x1 = 2 and y1 = -11.
((y - y1) =m(x - x1) substitute;
y - (-11) = -(27/6)(x - 2)
y + 11 = -(27/6)x + 54/6
y + 11 - 11 = -(27/6)x + 9 - 11
y = -(27/6)x - 3 This is the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line.
The general form of the equation of the line is: Ax + By + C = 0 where A, B, and C are real numbers, and A and B are not both zero.
So, you have:
y = -(27/6)x - 3
y + (27/6)x + 3 = -(27/6)x + (27/6)x - 3 + 3
y + (27/6)x + 3 = 0
(27/6)x + y + 3 = 0

Plug both points into the equation of a line, y =m*x + b and then solve the system of equations for m and b to get equation of the line through the points.
If you mean points of (-4, 2) and (4, -2) Then the straight line equation works out as 2y = -x
If you mean points of: (-1, 5) and (2, -4) Then the equation works out as: y = -3x+2
If the line passes through (5, 2) and (5, 7), then the x value stays constant for those two points, and since it is a line, the x value stays constant for the whole line, so the equation of the line isx = 5
x = 2
