The equation of a line in point-slope form is given by y - y1 = m(x - x1), where (x1, y1) is the given point and m is the slope.

Plugging in the values, we have:
y - 6 = (-1/2)(x - 2)

Expanding and simplifying further:
y - 6 = (-1/2)x + 1
y = (-1/2)x + 7

Therefore, the equation of the line is y = (-1/2)x + 7.
