While in vim you type

$ vim somefile +27

in emacs it must be[1]:

$ emacs +27 somefile

And will keep you from overriding other useful commands like you've shown above. M-x describe-function OR C-h f [ENTER] which would expand to: C-h f goto-line [ENTER] This will show you all sorts of information related to the function, including what key combinations are bound to it.
