**Explanation of Point-Slope Form:**
The point-slope form of the equation for a line is given by:
\[ y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) \]
where \( (x_1, y_1) \) is the given point on the line and \( m \) is the slope of the line.

In this instance:
- Given point: \( (2, 4) \)
- Slope (\( m \)): 6

Substituting these values into the point-slope form gives:
\[ y - 4 = 6(x - 2) \]
