To find the x intercept, set  y  =  0   and we have that

5x  = 60

x  =12

So.....the x intercept  is  (12, 0)

To  find the  y intercept, ley  x  = 0 and  we have that

12y  = 60

y = 5

So.....the  y intercept is  ( 0, 5)

The distance between these  = 

sqrt  [ ( 12 - 0 )^2  + ( 5 - 0)^2 ]  =

sqrt [ 12^2 + 5^2]  =

sqrt [ 144 + 25 ]  =

sqrt [ 169  ]  = 

13 units

The distance between the intercepts is 17.
