What am I missing?

To write this in slope intercept form, we will put it in the form y=mx+b like you said.
y-6=0
now we add 6 to both sides and get
y = 6
For slope intercept form, I always put the x in there. No x in the equation is the same as 0x because 0 * x = 0.
y = 0x + 6
This equation has a slope of 0.
On this equation, y will be equal to 6 no matter what x is.
Let's do a few points to prove that this will be a horizontal line.
(0,6)
(1,6)
(2,6)
(3,6)
etc...
If you plot these points, you will see a horizontal line at 6.

The slope for this line is 0, therefore it's a horizontal line. y=6 would be the correct slope intercept form.

Solve for y: y = 6. This is the same as y = 0*x +6,
the equation of a horizontal line.

The equation comes up with nothing but a horizontal line at y=6. That is why you have no "m" slope coefficient.

Since there is no x-variable, it's 0x, so get y by itself and you get y=0x+6. (Just y=6 works, as well.)
