An equation in point-slope form is
y - y1 = m (x - x1)

Your point is (7,6) and your slope is 2
y1 is the y coordinate of your point (in this case 6)
x1 is the x coordinate of your point (in this case 7)
m is your slope (in this case 2)

Now you just have to plug these numbers in:
y - 6 = 2 (x - 7)
