The slope-intercept equation is $y=6x+6$

If the y-intercept $= 6$ the point is $(0,6)$
If the x-intercept $=-1$ the point is #(-1,0)

The slope-intercept form of the equation of the line is $y=mx+b$
where $m=$ slope and $b=$ the y intercept

$m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)$

$x_1=0$
$y_1=6$
$x_2=-1$
$y_2=0$

$m = (0-6)/(-1-0)$

$m = (-6)/(-1)$

$m=6$
$b=6$

$y=6x+6$
