$y$ $y$ intercept is $- 3$ $-3$

Explanation:

$6 x - 4 y = 12$ $6x-4y=12$

Method - 1

At $x = 0$ $x=0$ ;
$6 (0) - 4 y = 12$ $6(0)-4y=12$
$- 4 y = 12$ $-4y=12$
$y = \frac{12}{- 4} = - 3$ $y=12/(-4)=-3$

Method - 2

Solve the equation for $y$ $y$ to have the equation in the intercept form
$- 4 y = 12 - 6 x$ $-4y=12-6x$

Divide both sides by $- 4$ $-4$
$y = \frac{12 - 6 x}{- 4}$ $y=(12-6x)/(-4)$
$y = \frac{12}{- 4} - \frac{6 x}{- 4}$ $y=12/(-4)-(6x)/(-4)$
$y = - 3 + \frac{3}{2} x$ $y=-3+3/2x$
