Write the equation of a line first in double intercept form that passes through the points (0,3) and (5,0). Then, convert this equation to general form.
-------------
3x + 5y = 15
------
When you're given both intercepts, (0,A) and (B,0),
it's Ax + By = A*B
--------------------------
Also, the distance from the Origin to the line is
A%2AB%2Fsqrt%28A%5E2+%2B+B%5E2%29 in case anyone asks.
