-\frac{5}{6}=\frac{y-0}{-6}
Subtract 3 from -3 to get -6.
-\frac{5}{6}=-\frac{1}{6}y-0
Divide each term of y-0 by -6 to get -\frac{1}{6}y-0.
-\frac{1}{6}y-0=-\frac{5}{6}
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-\frac{1}{6}y=-\frac{5}{6}+0
Add 0 to both sides.
-\frac{1}{6}y=-\frac{5}{6}
Add -\frac{5}{6} and 0 to get -\frac{5}{6}.
y=-\frac{5}{6}\left(-6\right)
Multiply both sides by -6, the reciprocal of -\frac{1}{6}.
y=\frac{-5\left(-6\right)}{6}
Express -\frac{5}{6}\left(-6\right) as a single fraction.
y=\frac{30}{6}
Multiply -5 and -6 to get 30.
y=5
Divide 30 by 6 to get 5.
