You may not actually need to.  If you look at the bottom right corner of
your buffer you should see something like L5.  That means Line number. 
If you want to go to a particular line, number n, you can type: M-g n
RET.  M-x goto-line RET if that doesn't work.

Also, typing M-x count-lines-page or C-x l will get you the total number
of lines on the page.

C-h a line RET will get you some other interesting commands -- like M-x
global-hl-line-mode.

HTH,
