Given equation is 5x - 12y = 60

We can rewrite it as

This equation is in the slope intercept form i.e. in the form + = 1

Where, x-intercept = 12 and y-intercept = -5

Two points are: (12, 0) on the x-axis and (0,-5) on y-axis

We know the distance between two points is

Length of the line

= 13

Conclusion: length of the portion of the line intercepted between the axes is 13
