Answer:

[tex]\large\boxed{d)\ 12}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]x-\dfrac{1}{2}y=-6\\\\\text{y-intercept is for x = 0. Substitute:}\\\\0-\dfrac{1}{2}y=-6\\\\-\dfrac{1}{2}y=-6\qquad\text{multiply both sides by (-2)}\\\\\left(-2\!\!\!\!\diagup^1\right)\left(-\dfrac{1}{2\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}y\right)=(-2)(-6)\\\\y=12[/tex]
