The slope-point form of a line is given by the following formula:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Where m is the slope, x1 and y1 are the x and y-coordinates of a point where the line passes through.

By replacing 6 for m, -5 for x1 and 2 for y1, we get:

y - 2 = 6(x - (-5))

y - 2 = 6(x + 5)

Then, the slope form equation of the line is y - 2 = 6(x + 5)
