+144 Find the distance between the x-intercept and the y-intercept of the graph of the equation\(5x - 12y = 60\) .
+36916 The x-intercept occurs when y= 0 so put y= 0 in to the equation
5x-12(0) = 60
x = 12
Similarly the y-intercept occurs when x =0
5(0) -12y = 60
y=5
Distance between = sq rt (12^2 + 5^2) = 13 (Pythagorean theorem)
