Q100 / 180 · KCET 2025 · Mathematics

A line passes through $(-1,-3)$ and perpendicular to $x+6 y=5$. Its $x$ intercept is

A
$\frac{1}{2}$
Correct answer
B
$-\frac{1}{2}$
C
$-2$
D
$2$

Solution

$\begin{aligned} & y+3=6(x+1) \\ & x \text { intercept } y=0 \\ & x=\frac{-1}{2}\end{aligned}$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
