#color(crimson)(y = -6# is the standard form of equation.

Given : #m = 0#, as it it’s horizontal line parallel to the x axis, (x_1, y-_1) = (-1, -6)#

Point - Slope equation format is

#(y- y_1) = m * (x - x_1)#

Substituting values for #m, x_1, y_1#,

#y + 6 = 0 * (x + 1)#

Format for standard form of the equation is

#color(crimson)(y = -6# is the standard form of equation.
