Answer:

the discriminant is 0

Explanation:

the linear line isnt intersecting any other points on the graph because x is only one value

for example

lets substitute numbers into the quadratic equation;

1: 1=6 (1,6)

2: 2=6 (2,6)

3: 3=6 (3,6)

pretty much the line shows no increase nor decrease.
