In my emacs, it is bound to M-g M-g (as well as M-g g).  If it isn't
in yours, check what it is bound to with C-h k, and if it's clear (or
you're willing to override it), add this to your .emacs:

(global-set-key (kbd "M-g M-g") 'goto-line)

Or perhaps use this binding, which is not to be used by any major
modes, by convention:
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c g") 'goto-line)

FWIW, you can find out if a function is bound to, if anything, by
bringing up the command's documentation.  C-h a  for apropos-command,
then "goto-line".
