What is the x intercept of the equation that passes through (1,-6) and is perpendicular to y=1/3x +1

fomenos

$\bf y=\stackrel{slope}{\cfrac{1}{3}}x+1\impliedby \textit{slope of this line, so a perpendicular will be}
\\\\\\
\textit{perpendicular, negative-reciprocal slope for}\quad \cfrac{1}{3}\\\\
negative\implies -\cfrac{1}{ 3}\qquad reciprocal\implies - \cfrac{ 3}{1}\implies -3\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1\\
&&(~1 &,& -6~)
\end{array}$

$\bf slope = m\implies -3
\\\\\\
% point-slope intercept
\stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y- y_1= m(x- x_1)}\implies y-(-6)=-3(x-1)
\\\\\\
y+6=-3x+3\implies 0+6=-3x+3\implies 3=-3x\implies \cfrac{3}{-3}=x
\\\\\\
-1=x\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad (~-1~,~0~)$

How do i solve this question

frozen [14]

$\bf \begin{cases}
h(x)=(f\circ g)(x)\\
h(x)=\sqrt{x+5}\\
f(x)=\sqrt{x+2}
\end{cases}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
(f\circ g)(x)\implies f[\ g(x)\ ]\implies f[\ g(x)\ ]=\sqrt{g(x)+2}\qquad thus
\\\\\\
\sqrt{g(x)+2}=(f\circ g)(x)=h(x)=\sqrt{x+5}\qquad therefore
\\\\\\
\sqrt{g(x)+2}=\sqrt{x+5}\impliedby \textit{squaring both sides}\\\\\\
g(x)+2=x+5\implies g(x)=x+5-2\implies \boxed{g(x)=x+3}$
