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.

b

step-by-step explanation:

a difference is the result of subtraction. while each of these expressions has subtraction in it, a difference will be the result when subtraction is the last operation applied in the order of operations for the expression. this means subtraction must be outside of the parenthesis. only b has this.
