Having the slope and one point allows for the point-slope equation form.

Assumed known point (u,v),
highlight_green%28y-v=m%28x-u%29%29, line's equation.

Plugging-in your given values may be the easiest.
y-16=6%28x-2%29
and simplify into whichever form you want if not point-slope.
y=6x-12%2B16
highlight%28y=6x%2B4%29, as slope-intercept form.
