Because a line always goes past the y-intercept and x-intercept. It's not always both, it can sometimes just be the x-intercept or the y-intercept.
When a line intersects these points, for example if a line was to intersect the x-axis then y would be equal to 0, and the opposite for the y-axis. If a line was to intersect the y-axis x would be equal to 0.
Therefore by using that knowledge, and the equation of the line [ y=mx+c or y-y1=m(x-x1) ], we can find the equation of our line. Of course you would need the gradient of that line (the value "m").

I hope this answer will help you. Have a nice day !
Both point (5,12) and (11,12) lie on the horizontal line y=12.
If these two points is a leg of the triangle, the other leg must be perpendicular to the horizontal line, that is, the other leg must be vertical, but passing through either (5,12) or (11,12), i.e. lies on either the vertical line x=5 or x=11.
There is only one point that passes through x=11, i.e. point A(11,4).
