x+12y-179=0

Explanation:

Let (11,14) be (x_1,y_1) and (35,12) be (x_2,y_2).
The equation for a straight line passing through two points is,
y-y_1=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) xx( x-x_1)
Substitute the respective values,
y-14=(12-14)/(35-11) xx( x-11)
y-14=-2/24 xx( x-11)
y-14=-1/12 xx( x-11)
12(y-14)=-1 xx( x-11)
12y-168=-x+11
x+12y-179=0

That's it.
Hope this helps :)
