Answer: B

Explanation:

The y-intercept is the number that is a constant. It is the "b" in y=mx+b. The y-intercept is the point on the y-axis. That means the x-coordinate is 0. With this information, we can automatically eliminate C and D.

Since we know y-intercept is the "b" on y=mx+b, we know that 6 is the "b" in the given equation. Therefore, B is the right answer.
