To solve this, we must first put both lines in Slope Intercept Form (y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept).
y=3x-5 is already in SIF, so we only need to work on the other one.
x+3y=6
-x -x
3y=-x+6
/3 /3
y=-1/3x+2
Now we have both equations in slope intercept form, so we can start graphing from the y-intercepts and just follow the slopes.
When we do this, we will see that the lines meet at an exactly 90° angle. When a pair of lines does this, it means they are perpendicular.
Below I have attached an image that has both lines graphed so that you may visualize it. The green dots show the slopes, while the highlighted areas show the y-intercepts. Note that the lines intersect at a 90° angle, making them perpendicular.

Answer:
x = - , x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
To find h(g(x)) substitute x = g(x) into h(x) , that is
h(g(x))
= h(x + 1)
= (x + 1)²
= x² + 2x + 1
For h(g(x)) = 3x² + x - 5 , then
3x² + x - 5 = x² + 2x + 1 ← subtract x² + 2x + 1 from both sides
2x² - x - 6 = 0 ← in standard form
(2x + 3)(x - 2) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
2x + 3 = 0 ⇒ 2x = - 3 ⇒ x = -
x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2
