slope intercept form of the equation for a straight line is:

y = mx + b where:

m is the slope of the line.
b is the y intercept.

your equation is:

y = -6

this implies that the slope is equal to 0 because:

y = 0*x - 6 becomes y = -6.

what you have is a straight line that has a value of -6 regardless of what value x is.

graph of the line y = -6 is shown below:
