In order to find the x-intercept and y-intercept of the graph, set $y$ $y$ and $x$ $x$ , respectively, to $0$ $0$ .

Let's find the x-intercept first:

$0 = \frac{1}{2} x - 6$ $0=1/2 x-6$
$6 = \frac{1}{2} x$ $6=1/2 x$
$12 = x$ $12=x$
X-Intercept: $(12, 0)$ $(12,0)$

Next, the y-intercept:

$y = \frac{1}{2} (0) - 6$ $y=1/2 (0)-6$
$y = - 6$ $y=-6$
Y-Intercept: $(0, - 6)$ $(0,-6)$

Have a nice day! :)
