Grace opens a lemonade stand in her neighborhood to earn money. For each cup of lemonade she sells, Grace earns $0.50 profit. Considering that it cost her $6 in start-up costs, Grace graphed her potential profits, where x represents the number of cups of lemonade she sells and y represents the amount of profit earned in dollars. However, Grace made a mistake with her graph. Her y-intercept was incorrectly drawn. At what value should the graph have crossed the y-axis?
