1. **State the problem:** Put the equation $3x - y = -6$ into slope-intercept form.
2. **Recall the slope-intercept form:** The slope-intercept form of a line is given by $$y = mx + b$$ where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.
3. **Isolate $y$ on one side:** Starting with the equation $$3x - y = -6$$ subtract $3x$ from both sides:
$$3x - y - 3x = -6 - 3x$$
which simplifies to
$$-y = -6 - 3x$$
4. **Multiply both sides by $-1$ to solve for $y$:**
$$\cancel{-1} \times (-y) = \cancel{-1} \times (-6 - 3x)$$
which gives
$$y = 6 + 3x$$
5. **Rewrite in slope-intercept form:**
$$y = 3x + 6$$
**Final answer:** The slope-intercept form is $$y = 3x + 6$$.
