Answer:

The discriminant is 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In a quadratic equation of the form [tex]ax^{2} +bx+c=0[/tex]

The discriminant is equal to

[tex]D=(b^{2}-4ac)[/tex]

If D=0 -----> The equation has only one real solution

If D>0 ----> The equation has two real solutions

If D<0 ----> The equation has complex solutions

In this problem

If the equation has only one intercept (x=6)

then

The equation has only one real solution

therefore

The discriminant is 0.
