y = mx + b
When you get an equation in this form the number represented by m is the slope of the line. And the number represented by b is the place where it crosses the y axis.
To get 6x + y = 1/6 into slope intercept form, just get the 6x to the other side:
y = -6x + 1/6
So the line has a slope of -6 and a y-intercept of (0,1/6)

Slope form of line is y = mx + c where
c = intercept on y axis
m = slope of line
So,
6x + y = 1/6 => y = -6x + 1/6
Comparing with the standard form,
m = slope of line = -6
c = y intercept = 1/6

The slope intercept form is

y = mx + b
where m is the slope and b is the y axis intercept.

6x+y=1/6 (your equation)

Subtract 6x from both sides

y = -6x + 1/6 is in the slope intercept form.
.
-6 is the slope
1/6 is the y intercept
.
