The y-intercept is at (0, 6).

Explanation:

y = -1/6x + 6

To find the y-intercept, plug in 0 for x and solve for y:
y = -1/6(0) + 6

y = 0 + 6

y = 6

Therefore, the y-intercept is at (0, 6).

6

Explanation:

This equation is in slope-intercept form

y-mx+b, with slope m and a y-intercept of b.

By pattern matching, we see that our b term, the y-intercept, is 6.
