Answer :
Given equation is 3x - 4y +12 = 0
We can rewrite it as 3x - 4y = -12
This equation is in the slope intercept form i.e. in the form +
= 1
Where, x-intercept = -4 and y-intercept = 3
Two points are: (-4, 0) on the x-axis and (0, 3) on y-axis
We know distance between two points is
Length of the line
= 5
Conclusion: Length of the portion of the line intercepted between the axes is 5
