**Topic: Slope-Intercept Form**

### Substituting the given values into the slope-intercept form

To find the equation of a line in slope-intercept form, use the formula:
\[ y = mx + b \]

Given:
\[ y = -6 \]
\[ m = \frac{1}{5} \]
\[ x = 5 \]

Substitute the given values into the formula:
\[ -6 = \frac{1}{5}(5) + b \]

Calculation:
\[ -6 = 1 + b \]

Solve for \( b \):
\[ b = -6 - 1 \]
\[ b = -7 \]

Answer:
\[ y = \frac{1}{5}x - 7 \]
