The point-slope form of a linear equation is given by: y - y1 = m(x - x1), where (x1, y1) is a point on the line and m is the slope.

Using the given point (-2, 1) and slope m = 7, the equation of the line in point-slope form is:
y - 1 = 7(x - (-2))

Simplifying, we get:
y - 1 = 7(x + 2)

Therefore, the equation of the line is:
y - 1 = 7x + 14
