Let a and b be the intercepts made by a line on the x-axes and y-axes respectively.If the area of the triangle formed by the coordinate axis and the line is 6 square units and length of the hypotenuse is 5 units. Prove that the equation of the line is 3x + 4y = 12 or 3x + 4y = -12 or 4x + 3y = 12 or - 4x - 3y = 12
