I found: z=6[cos(pi)+isin(pi)]

Explanation:

We can "see" this number (z=-6) on the Real axis on a complex plane:

We need the angle theta and the modulus (length) to define the characteristics of our number in trig form as:
z="modulus"[cos(theta)+isin(theta)]
observing our complex plane we see that:
modulus=6
theta=pi=180^@
so ve get:
z=6[cos(pi)+isin(pi)]
