What is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the

given line and has an x-intercept of 6?

y=-3x+8

O y=-3x + 6

O y=-x-8

O y=x-6

y=x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-intercept is found replacing y = 0, as follows:

Function: y = - 3x + 8

x-intercept:

0 = - 3x + 8

3x = 8

x = 8/3

Function: y = - 3x + 6

x-intercept:

0 = - 3x + 6

3x = 6

x = 6/3 = 2

Function: y = - x - 8

x-intercept:

0 = - x - 8

x = - 8

Function: y = x - 6

x-intercept:

0 = x - 6

x = 6

The last option is the only one in which x-intercept is x = 6.
